Everton Vs Aston Villa Tactical Preview: Team News, Key Men And Streaming Links

Everton will welcome Aston Villa at Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon as both teams look to go all out in search of the three points. The Toffees suffered a 2-1 defeat against Norwich City last weekend which led to the sacking of Rafael Benitez.

Everton vs Aston Villa: Talking Tactics

Everton‘s caretaker manager, Duncan Ferguson will set his team up in a 4-3-3 formation and could ask his players to stay in the game for as long as they can so that they can grind out a positive result in front of their home supporters.

Steven Gerrard will probably opt for a 4-3-2-1 formation as he instructs his players to create enough chances to win this Premier League clash at Merseyside.

Key Men

Everton

Dominic Calvert-Lewin will once again be Everton’s best hope for a goal up top. Both Michael Keane and Ben Godfrey need to step up and give a good account of themselves on the defensive end of the field if the Toffees are to come out on top this weekend.

Aston Villa

Both Emiliano Buendia and Philippe Coutinho will share most of the creative burden for the Villans in the final third. It will also be a big game for John McGinn who will be eager to impress on his return from suspension.
