Match Preview
Everton are back to Premier League action this weekend, traveling to Aston Villa as the injury hit Blues are looking to get things back on track after picking up just one point in two home games, and then
getting knocked out of the FA Cup last weekend.
The duo of Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye are still away at AFCON where Senegal plays in the final against hosts Morocco today. Tim Iroegbunam has joined the ranks of the injured picking up a groin issue. They will get Jack Grealish back after his one-game red card suspension, and he will be returning to a familiar ground at Villa Park where he made his name.
Aston Villa had a remarkable winning streak that saw them come from way down in 19th when Everton played them in the first month of the season, and climbed up the table all the way up to third where they have been for a few weeks now as they are in a position to overhaul Manchester City and go second now.

Last Meeting
The two sides had fought out a 0-0 game at Hill Dickinson Stadium earlier in the season. Everton lost both legs against Villa last season, including a 3-2 defeat at Villa Park in September 2024. That was a heartbreaker where the Toffees had jumped into a two-nil lead with goals from Dwight McNeil and Dominic Calvert-Lewin after just half an hour, only for the hosts to reel them back in with an Ollie Watkins brace and Jhon Duran nabbing the winner.
