THE LOWDOWN

EVERTON

  • Everton put in another dogged display under Sean Dyche with their 1-0 victory over Leeds last weekend making it six points from a possible nine since the former Burnley boss took charge of the Toffees.
  • Dyche could well opt for an unchanged line-up given that Dominic Calvert-Lewin is highly likely to miss out once more, while Amadou Onana’s knock is unlikely to keep him out.

ASTON VILLA

  • Aston Villa competed well for large portions of their clash with title challengers Arsenal last weekend but suffered late heartbreak when they conceded twice in injury-time, which made it three defeats on the bounce.
  • Diego Carlos is close to a return from his lengthy injury lay-off, while Unair Emery may choose to reward Philippe Coutinho with another start after the Brazilian found the net against the Gunners.

THE PREDICTION

Although Villa may have lost three consecutive games, but it wasn’t exactly the easiest run of fixtures as they ran into an in-form Leicester City before falling to the top two, so there is no need to hit the panic button just yet. Certainly there is no issue going forward as they have found the net in their last 12 games in all competitions, which surely means they will give an Everton defence with new-found solidity some problems. Everton haven’t actually prevailed in this fixture since 2016, but you feel that both sides would settle for a point here with a share of the spoils the prediction.

TIP: DRAW
