Aston Villa vs Everton Predictions

• Villa have won 11 successive home games.
• Villa have scored multiple goals in six of their last seven at Villa Park.
• Everton have won just one of their last seven.

Everton unlikely to dent Villans’ title bid

A run of four points from their last three games has seen Aston Villa fall six points behind leaders Arsenal in the Premier League table but they can ensure they don’t drop further back this weekend by beating visitors Everton.

The Villans’ dropped points have come in away games and at Villa Park they have been close to invincible, winning each of their last 11 at this venue across all competitions.

Everton arrive in mixed form with just one win in their last seven, losing three, and they suffered FA Cup disappointment last weekend as they were eliminated by Sunderland on Merseyside.

Villa can win with room to spare

The hosts are the clear favourites so the best angle to squeeze a bit of value out of this Premier League fixture looks to be backing Villa to cover a -1 handicap.

Unai Emery’s men have scored more than one goal in six of their last seven home games, while Everton were held to a draw by rock-bottom Wolves in their last league outing and have lost by two-goal margins against Chelsea and Brentford recently.

Visitors can still get on the scoresheet

Villa can win comfortably but Everton may still be able to grab a consolation effort and a 3-1 home win sees a reasonable correct score prediction.

Villa have conceded in each of their last three home games but no visiting team has managed to score more than once at Villa Park this season in any competition, and each of Everton’s last three away losses have come via two-goal margins.

After a disappointing start to the campaign, Villa forward Ollie Watkins looks to be back in form with four goals in his last four Premier League games. The England international was used sparingly in the FA Cup last time out and should come back in the starting side here, and he looks a strong contender for an anytime effort.
