Latest Everton vs Aston Villa team news
Both teams entered this match in high spirits after their FA Cup third-round victories. Everton could welcome back Calvert-Lewin and Garner from injury, however Broja continued to struggle with a serious knee problem and his future at the club was uncertain. Everton's starting lineup showed manager Baines' tactical approach, but it was also surprising that some key players like McNeil, Calvert-Lewin, and Coleman did not feature in the previous match.
Aston Villa will be bolstered by Duran, who is ready to compete for a place with Watkins. Despite his experience, they will be without Barkley due to injury, a significant loss in midfield. Torres will also be unavailable defensively. Carlos' fitness is questionable. Philogene's impending departure also leaves Villa short of a potential attacking option. The match will be an opportunity to see tactical adjustments from both sides following some injury setbacks. While both teams are strong after the FA Cup, some personnel changes could spring a surprise.
Latest predicted lineups for Everton vs Aston Villa
Everton:
Pickford; Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Lindstrom, Gueye, Mangala, Doucoure, Ndiaye; Calvert-Lewin
Aston Villa:
Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Digne; Kamara, Onana, Tielemans; Bailey, Duran, Rogers
Latest Everton vs Aston Villa football match prediction
Last Thursday was a tumultuous day in Everton's history. Dyche's swift sacking, just five days after the defeat to Bournemouth and hours before the FA Cup match, reflected deep-seated instability. The interim takeover by Baines and Coleman brought a less-than-convincing victory against Peterborough, but it couldn't mask the disappointment. With only three wins and 15 goals, Dyche's departure was inevitable. He had a win rate below 30%, particularly in the last ten games with only one victory. While the defense seemed to improve, the attack was utterly ineffective, pushing the fans to their limits.
Moyes' return after 11 years will be anything but easy. His debut will be against Aston Villa, an opponent Everton haven't beaten in eight years. That past defeat, losing a 2-0 lead earlier in the season at Villa Park, creates a wary atmosphere.
Villa are also in a difficult situation, with five consecutive away defeats and conceding at least two goals in each game. However, history is on their side, as they are unbeaten in their last five away matches at Goodison Park. Another defeat would see Villa set a new record for worst form since 2016. Nevertheless, being only four and two points behind Chelsea and Manchester City respectively in the top four race will motivate them to fight.
After a smooth start to the new year, Emery needs to find more stability for the team. The hard-fought FA Cup victory shows that the team still has many issues to address, especially with the packed schedule ahead. Everton under the new manager is a challenging test, just before Villa enter other important matches in the domestic league and the Champions League.
