Aston Villa vs Everton Prediction
Aston Villa were shockingly poor against Bournemouth last week and cannot afford another poor result this weekend. The likes of Ollie Watkins and Philippe Coutinho are often effective and will need to step up this weekend.
Everton gave a good account of themselves against Chelsea but have plenty of work to do to move up the league table. Aston Villa are the better team on paper and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.
