Everton vs Aston Villa Preview and Prediction: Last-minute Goal

Latest Everton vs Aston Villa team news

Everton fans are eager to see Jack Grealish in a blue shirt, and he has a chance to make Premier League history if he provides two assists in three consecutive games.

Beto scored the opening goal at Molineux and has since scored eight goals in 21 games under Moyes – only four players in the Premier League have scored more – but he still faces competition from Thierno Barry.

Vitaliy Mykolenko is unavailable for the Ukraine national team and is almost certain to miss out along with Jarrad Branthwaite. Defenders Adam Aznou and Nathan Patterson are also doubtful, but new signing Merlin Rohl could be given his debut after joining on the final day of the transfer window.

On the Aston Villa side, Amadou Onana and Ross Barkley are both doubtful to return; Onana has a hamstring problem, while Barkley lacks fitness. Matty Cash is also doubtful due to a quadriceps injury, while Boubacar Kamara is not yet ready, and Andres Garcia is definitely out.

New signing Harvey Elliott – on loan from Liverpool – could make his debut in his hometown, while Jadon Sancho, who arrived from Manchester United on the final day of the transfer window, is also striving to secure a starting place.

Latest Everton vs Aston Villa football match prediction

After earning just one point in August in the last three seasons combined, Everton surprisingly climbed to fifth place in the Premier League table with six points, thanks to two consecutive wins before the international break.

David Moyes's side beat Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0 in their first official home game, then followed that up with a rare victory away at Wolverhampton Wanderers, winning 3-2 in tense final minutes.

Jack Grealish continued to be the star with a brace of assists – repeating the feat he just accomplished against Brighton – and he will want to maintain this form when he faces his boyhood club Aston Villa this weekend.

Only two clubs in history have ever won both of their first two Premier League matches at a new home ground, but with five wins in their last six games, Everton believe they can join that rare list.

This figure is equal to the total number of wins Everton had in their previous 21 matches, and no team in the league has earned more points than them since May (16 points).

The win at Molineux was also their ninth win in 2025, surpassing their total wins in all of 2024 (8). The last time they won two consecutive games after losing in the opening round, Everton qualified for the Champions League in the 2004/05 season.

However, Aston Villa is a formidable opponent for Everton: since returning to the Premier League in 2019, Villa have been unbeaten in all 12 encounters (winning 9), and Everton have failed to score in their last 4 home matches. Only once in history have they experienced an even worse home goal drought against an opponent – ​​Liverpool in the 1970s.

During the same period, Villa had four consecutive clean sheets away from home against Everton – a club record. However, they recently suffered a major shock, losing 0-3 to Crystal Palace at Villa Park, their heaviest home defeat in 18 months.

More worryingly, Villa are currently the only team yet to score in the Premier League, ahead of Wolves only on goal difference. The last time they failed to win all three opening games of the season was in the 2017/18 Championship, and failing to score in all three opening games of the season has only happened once before, in the 1997/98 season.

Unai Emery's task now is to prevent Villa from becoming the fifth club in Premier League history to fail to score in all four opening games of the season, and to quickly regain their form before entering the cup and European competitions later this month.
