Everton head into the home fixture against Aston Villa perched in eighth place with six points from four games – a win and three draws yielding a modest 5‑3 goal difference. Villa, languishing 19th with just a solitary point from a lone draw, have struggled to find the net, managing only one goal while conceding seven. The gap in form is stark, and Everton will look to extend their unbeaten run, whereas Villa will be desperate for a turnaround to climb out of the relegation zone. Given the current standings and the contrasting goal records, the Merseyside side enter as clear favourites, but Villa’s urgency could produce a surprising spark.
