Team Form and Analysis:
Everton enters this match in a difficult run of form, having secured only one point from their opening three matches. The hosts have struggled to find their rhythm and are coming off a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers. Under manager Sean Dyche, the Toffees have been a resilient side, but they have also struggled both defensively and offensively. With a number of key players either injured or suspended, their task against a formidable Aston Villa side will be even more difficult.
Aston Villa, meanwhile, has had a sensational start to their season, with three wins from three. The visitors are coming off a dominant 3-0 home victory over Crystal Palace and have shown impressive attacking depth and defensive solidity. Under manager Unai Emery, Aston Villa is looking to build on their impressive campaign last season and cement their place in the top four. Despite a number of key injuries, including star striker Ollie Watkins, the squad’s depth is impressive, with new signings leading the charge.
Head-to-Head:
The historical head-to-head record between these two clubs is remarkably even, but Aston Villa has had the better of the recent encounters. Villa is unbeaten in their last three Premier League meetings with Everton, with two wins and one draw. The most recent encounter at Goodison Park in May ended in a dominant 3-1 victory for Aston Villa.
Player to Watch:
Everton: All eyes will be on their key attacking players, particularly Dominic Calvert-Lewin and new signing Kelechi Iheanacho. With Beto out with an injury, the two strikers will be looked upon to lead the attack and provide the creative spark.
Aston Villa: The focus for Aston Villa will be on their key attacking players, including new signings Rodrigo and Dušan Vlahović. Both players have been in sensational form and will be a major threat to the Everton defense.
Prediction:
Given Aston Villa’s perfect start to the season, their superior squad depth, and their dominant recent record against Everton, they are the clear favorites to win this match. While Everton will have the home advantage and the motivation to get their season back on track, it is difficult to see them overcoming the quality of the Aston Villa team. A comfortable away victory for Aston Villa seems like a very likely outcome.
