Everton welcome the Villains to BMD following the international break, which disrupted a strong run of form.
The Blues have won three on the spin in all competitions, with impressive performances both at home and on the road.
Indeed, Sutton insists Everton will be ‘full of belief’ ahead of the game, but states that Villa will return home with a point.
Predicting a 1-1 draw, he said: “So much has changed about Everton since David Moyes lost his first game back in charge against Villa, at Goodison Park in January, and not just that they now have a new ground.
“You just sense that, with Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye, they have the attacking threat now that they had lacked for a long time. They will be full of belief, against an Aston Villa side who badly need a positive result after their slow start to the new campaign.
“The obvious prediction, based on form, is to back Everton to win but I actually don’t think Villa will keep on losing.”
Villa are currently languishing second from bottom with just a solitary point on the board.
Back to back defeats against Brentford and Crystal Palace have seen Emery’s side struggle in recent weeks.
However, they’re a very good side and the Blues would be wise to avoid complacency.
Moyes may be without star man Iliman Ndiaye, with the Senegalese forward facing a late fitness test.
Left-back Vitalii Mykolenko is also a doubt, so a defence reshuffle could be required.
However, Premier League Player of the Month will no doubt be up for a fixture against his former club.
Grealish has been in outstanding form, with four assists already this season.
Another one tomorrow wouldn’t go a miss, Jack.
