Champions League football is looming large for Aston Villa, who will have to balance the rigours of European competition this season, but they will be looking to overcome Everton first. Sean Dyche’s Everton side have really struggled this season, losing all three of their games played and the manner of their capitulation at home to Bournemouth last weekend will be hugely concerning.

Aston Villa vs Everton Analysis
Both of these sides will be looking for three points, for very different reasons in the eyes of most punters and EPL betting sites.
Aston Villa
A gritty win on the road at Leicester City last time out could prove to be the perfect tonic for Aston Villa, who have been struggling for rhythm but are still sitting pretty on two wins from their opening three games. A home win is the one thing that has eluded them this term, having found Arsenal too hot to handle a few weeks ago and Unai Emery will be desperate to see his side hit the ground running after the international break in this one.
Team news: Tyrone Mings, Matty Cash and Boubacar Kamara continue to sit out for Villa.
Aston Villa Predicted Lineup:
Martinez, Bogarde, Konsa, Torres, Digne, McGinn, Onana, Tielemans, Ramsey, Rogers & Watkins.
Everton
It has been a bleak start to the campaign for Everton, who managed to blow a 2-goal lead at home to Bournemouth last time out, conspiring to lose 3-2 in the dying embers. Sean Dyche’s side will be targeting survival once again this season, following a tough couple of years but it does feel as if the Toffees are short on confidence and playing identity currently. This should be a very tough afternoon for them, and they aren’t being backed to pick up anything from this one by many punters or Premier League betting sites.
Team news: Jarrad Branthwaite remains a key injury miss for Everton.
Everton Predicted Lineup:
Pickford, Coleman, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko, Iroegbunam, Gueye, Garner, McNeil, Harrison & Calvert-Lewin.
Aston Villa vs Everton Prediction
This should be a fantastic contest at Villa Park, with both sides in desperate need of a win. Villa’s home form last season was key to them managing to finish inside the top 4 and they will want to make Villa Park a fortress again this season. Everton meanwhile have been under the cosh so far this term, but they know that one good result could enable them to turn the tide. However, that result doesn’t look likely to come here, with Villa sure to have too much for them.
Prediction: Aston Villa to win the match – 1/2 (-200) – Rhino Bet.
Aston Villa vs Everton – The Ultimate Bet
Aston Villa to win to nil – 2/1 (+200) – Fitzdares
With just two goals scored from their opening three games, Everton have been off the pace all season and this should be a comfortable home win for Aston Villa here.
