Aston Villa welcome Everton to Villa Park on Saturday night as they look to secure all three points from this home encounter. The Villans enter the game following a disappointing 5-1 loss to Newcastle United, so they will be aiming for a better result in the upcoming weekend’s match.
Unai Emery will opt for a 4-4-2 formation and could name his best available first team for this game. Moussa Diaby, John McGinn and Ollie Watkins will lead the attack for the Villans in the final third.
4-2-3-1 Aston Villa Predicted XI Vs Everton
Defence
Emiliano Martinez will function in goal for the Villans as he looks to earn a clean sheet on the road. Ezri Konsa will resume his centre-back partnership with Pau Torres as they look to keep things solid at the back during the 90 minutes.
Matty Cash will look to impress as the right-back while Lucas Digne looks to give a good account of himself on the other side as the left-back. Both of them would have to remain compact defensively so they can stop the opposition from creating chances from the wide areas.
Calum Chambers and Tyrone Mings will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Douglas Luiz and Boubacar Kamara will anchor the midfield for the West Midlands club as they look to make life tough for the opposition at the centre of the park. Youri Tielemans will operate ahead of them looking to create chances for the attackers up front.
Emiliano Buendia will be named on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second half if required.
Attack
Moussa Diaby will get the nod to express himself as the left-winger while John McGinn will be given the responsibility to create some decent chances from the right flank.
Ollie Watkins will lead the charge for the East London club up top. He would be eager to find the back of the net when he laces up to face off against the Everton defenders this weekend.
Leon Bailey will have to be content with a spot on the bench as he waits for his chance to shine in the latter stages if asked to do so.
