Match Preview:

Everton find themselves sitting in 16th; only a point above the relegation positions, but under David Moyes the Toffees will hope to get this new era started with a win and turn there fortunes around.

Aston Villa are sitting in 8th and are looking to push for European football again this season. Villa started this season a bit bumpy but have managed to settle and find themselves in good form coming into todays game.

Team News:

Everton come into the game with a major blow in Armando Broja being stretchered off with a knee brace (possibly the last time he will wear a Everton jersey) 

Dwight McNeil and James Garner are both set to miss the match, with Dominic Calvert-Lerwin in potential contention to return (from the bench most likely). Tim Iroegbunam, Youssef Chermiti and Seamus Coleman are also all ruled out.

Emiliano Martinez is doubtful but Unai Emery will most likely risk starting him, as his form against Everton is crucial.

Aston Villa have they super sub back in Jhon Duran being back from suspension. Villa will still be missing both defenders Pau Torres and Diego Carlos through injury. Ross Barkley wont be getting minutes against his old team, as he is still out, alongside John McGinn.

Everton Predicted Lineup:
Pickford, Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Lindstrom, Gueye, Mangala, Ndiaya, Doucoure, Beto 

Aston Villa Predicted Lineup:
Martinez, Digne, Mings, Konsa, Cash, Ramsey, Tielemans, Kamara, Bailey, Rogers, Watkins

Prediction:

Everton Premier League Form:
D D D L L

Everton Home Form:
W

Aston Villa Premier League Form:
L  W

Aston Villa Away Form:
L L L L 


David Moyes limited time at the club will probably see little change to Everton's setup or style of play for this game. If Martinez start's for Aston Villa, it will be a formidable battle for Everton to get a goal past him, specially with Everton having only score 15 goals in 19 matches.

I predict this game will be a close call, with few to no goals being scored.

My Prediction: Everton 0 - 0 Aston Villa

Ai Prediction: Everton 1 - 2  Aston Villa
