Aston Villa v Everton Preview

Aston Villa’s Form

Aston Villa were last season's surprise package under Unai Emery finishing 4th and qualifying for this season's Champions League whilst also reaching the Semi-Finals of the Europa Conference League. This is a crucial game for them to pick up points in so they can build confidence ahead of the start of their Champions League campaign next week.

Aston Villa have outperformed their Expected Points Total of 4.98 with six points from their opening three league games which suggests an element of luck in their league position. However, their 1-2 win over Leicester was exactly what they deserved following an XG score of 0.77 to 2.16.

Aston Villa are a strong side and very worthy favourites for this game due to their consistent nature under Unai Emery.

Everton’s Form 

Arguably the biggest basketcase of a football club in the Premier League at the moment? While Dyche was able to pull the club to 15th last season despite a points deduction due to off-the-field financial issues. This season the pressure seems to be piled further on the club after losing some key players from their squad last season, they’ve lost three of their first three league matches.

While they’re yet to win a single point in the league (putting them bottom their Expected Points total is 1.69 which would theoretically put them above Ipswich on 1.02. Before the International Break, they squandered a 2-0 lead over Bournemouth to lose 2-3 after conceding goals in the 91st and 95th minute.

While talks of investment into a club and/or a takeover going on off-the-field continue to be speculated, something needs to go right for this club sooner rather than later or their Premier League status will be in jeopardy.

Key Players To Watch

Amadou Onana – Aston Villa

Aston Villa’s newest record signing following his £50 million move from Everton last month plenty was expected of the 23-year-old Belgian International. Onana is a physical force in the middle of the park as evidenced by his 2.29 Aerials Won and 3.28 Tackles per 90 putting him in the 95th and 94th percentile for all midfielders and is critical to another positive season for the club.

Dwight McNeil – Everton

One of the shining lights in what has been a miserable start to the season for Everton comes down their LW with McNeil (24) who has 1 Goal and 1 Assist from his opening 4 games in all competitions. McNeil is a quality player who offers Everton a genuine attacking threat through his crossing and passing ability while also offering the defensive protection Dyche desires.

Aston Villa v Everton Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Aston Villa 2-0 Everton

Aston Villa are a strong and consistent outfit and will look to continue the positive feeling around the club before the Champions League commences next week.

Everton actually performed well last season, but the loss of key players has been hard to replace due to their ongoing financial troubles and so it remains to be seen if Dyche and co can steer them clear of the relegation zone again.

I expect Villa to win with room to spare here, though I also feel the long-term prospects of Everton should be stronger than some think.

Best Bet: Aston Villa -1 @ 13/10
