In midweek, Everton suffered their worst defeat of the season by their biggest rival. Accordingly, the "Toffees" will try to quickly make it up to their supporters, but it will never be easy against a traditionally tough opponent for them - Aston Villa.
Everton and Aston Villa lead an extremely tight battle for the last 14 years. Both teams exchanged 8 wins and 12 games were draws for that period. Furthermore, the last 4 matches at Goodison Park between the two teams ended in a draw. Overall, Aston Villa perform quite well at Liverpool, where there have lost only once in their last 9 matches.
For Everton this game will undoubtedly be very difficult, with regard to their long list of injured players. Lukaku got injured in the match against Liverpool and joined the group of key injuried players, where are also Coleman, Oviedo and Distin. The "Toffees", however, are one of the best hosts in the league, and are undefeated in 19 of their last 20 home games in the Premier League. Despite the serious obstacles for Roberto Martinez, it is unlikely his team to lose this match.
Christian Benteke is gradually finding his good form and will definitely pose a threat to the home side defense. Benteke scored 2 times in the past visit to Everton and can keep his tradition to score to the teams from Liverpool.
