The Premier League is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Everton lock horns with Unai Emery's Aston Villa side in an important clash at Villa Park on Sunday.
Aston Villa vs Everton Preview
Everton are currently in 15th place in the Premier League standings and have been in poor form since the turn of the year. The Toffees slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat against Fulham in their previous game and will need to step up to the plate this weekend.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, are rooted to the bottom of the league table at the moment and have made a poor start to their season. The home side suffered a shock 5-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Aston Villa vs Everton Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- Aston Villa have a slight historical edge over Everton and have won 86 out of the 228 matches played between the two teams, as opposed to Everton's 82 victories.
- Since their return to the Premier League in 2019, Aston Villa are unbeaten in their last eight matches against Everton in the competition.
- Everton have lost their last four matches against Aston Villa in the Premier League and have never lost five such matches in a row in the competition in their history.

Aston Villa vs Everton Prediction
Aston Villa have an impressive squad at their disposal but were surprisingly poor at St. James' Park last week. The likes of Moussa Diaby and Ollie Watkins can be lethal on their day and will look to make their mark this weekend.
Everton have struggled over the past year and will face another battle to survive in the Premier League this season. Aston Villa are the better team at the moment and should be able to win this game.
