Preview
Aston Villa need a return to form soon after a poor run of results when they face Everton in the Premier League on Saturday.
In their last match, they were comfortably beaten by Chelsea 3-0 at the Bridge with Lukaku scoring a brace while Kovacic also got his name onto the scoresheet.
The Villans are placed 12th in the league table with 4 points from the same number of matches and includes just 1 win and a draw.
On the other hand, Everton beat Burnley 3-1 at home which pushed them to 4th spot in the table with 10 points from 4 matches. The Toffees are undefeated this season and look a promising side.
Mee broke the deadlock for Burnley but goals from Keane, Townsend and Gray within the space of 6 minutes turned the tide completely in the favour of the Blues.
This was Everton 4th win in five matches and gives them a shot of confidence under Rafael Benitez.
FT. The Toffees, mate. 💙

Everton’s fine start under Benitez this season gives them the confidence ahead of this contest.

Players to watch out for: Ings, Buendia, Richarlison and Townsend.
