There is a full complement of games to look forward to in the English Premier League on the weekend including the meeting between Everton and Aston Villa.
The match will take place at Goodison Park, with the hosts beginning the weekend in 8th place on 52 points and the visitors in 11th place on 45 points.
Everton come into the match having recorded a good 1-0 win at Arsenal last weekend. It was a crucial game for The Toffees in their pursuit of European football next season and they delivered the goods.
That result means Everton are undefeated in their last 4 games but the win at Arsenal is their only victory from those four matches.
The others each ended in a draw at home against Crystal Palace and Tottenham Hotspur plus away at Brighton and Hove Albion.
Home form is where Everton have really been finding it tough this season and they have picked up just a single victory from their last 7 home fixtures in all competitions. They have won only one of their 9 most recent home Premier League games and have been struggling to keep clean sheets.
Trends show Everton have kept only one clean sheet in their last 10 home league matches. In fact, Everton have conceded 2 or more goals in 5 of their 7 most recent home Premier League games.
Aston Villa come into the match having been held to a 2-2 draw at home by local rivals West Bromwich Albion. It was a disappointing result for Aston Villa who would have been expecting to defeat a team in the relegation zone at home.
However, they would have been happy with the point at the end of the game having scored a late equaliser.
That result means Aston Villa have failed to win any of their last 3 Premier League games having previously tasted defeat at Liverpool and at home against Manchester City.
In fact, Aston Villa have picked up just a single victory from their 8 most recent Premier League fixtures and that came at home against Fulham.
Aston Villa have not won any of their last 3 away Premier League games. Trends show they have scored at least one goal in 3 of their last 4 on the road but have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 3 away matches.
Looking ahead to the team news and Everton could be without central defender Michael Keane, who has a hamstring problem. Jean-Philippe Gbamin, Tyler Onyango, and Abdoulaye Doucoure are also unavailable for the hosts.
Aston Villa travel without the injured trio of Trezeguet, Morgan Sanson, and Jack Grealish.
Everton know they still have an outside chance of finishing in the top four this season but their home form has been letting them down.
This has the makings of being another tricky home fixture and we expect to see Aston Villa come away with a point from this game, with both teams scoring.
