Aston Villa will entertain Everton at Villa Park this Saturday evening as they hope to earn all three points at home in the Premier League. The Villans managed to earn a hard-fought 2-1 win away at Leicester City before the international break. Hence, the West Midlands club would head into this game full of confidence about securing a positive result this weekend.
Unai Emery will opt for the 4-4-1-1 formation and could make one change to his starting XI for this game. Jacob Ramsey will get an opportunity to impress from the start of this contest as Leon Bailey is currently struggling with a hamstring injury.
4-4-1-1 Aston Villa Predicted Lineup To Face Everton
Defence
Emiliano Martinez will resume his duties in goal for the Villans after conceding one goal in his last league outing. Pau Torres will operate alongside Ezri Kona at the centre of Emery’s defence as they try to keep things solid at the back throughout the 90 minutes.
Lamare Bogarde will keep his spot at right-back while Lucas Digne looks to catch the eye on the other flank as the left-back. Both of them need to pick and choose their moments to join in on the attack.
Kosta Nedeljković will offer cover for the right-back position on the bench.
Midfield
Youri Tielemans and Amadou Onana will anchor the midfield for West Ham as they look to establish their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park. Jacob Ramsey will get a chance to impress as the left-winger while John McGinn looks to put in another hard-working performance on the right flank.
Morgan Rogers will operate in the number ten position for Aston Villa. Emery would instruct him to carry some of the creative workload for the Villans in the final third.
Ross Barkley will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the second half if needed.
Attack
Ollie Watkins will spearhead Aston Villa’s attack up top. He would be eager to find the back of the net and make a difference for the Villans this Saturday evening.
Jhon Duran will be named on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the latter stages if needed.
