Everton host Aston Villa at Hill Dickinson Stadium, Liverpool, Merseyside on Tuesday, Jan 5 at 8:30 PM in the Premier League.
Everton come into this fixture drawing too many games (3D in last 5). Aston Villa travel struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Despite playing at home, Everton face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Aston Villa have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Aston Villa won 0–1.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Everton a slight edge, but Aston Villa are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
