Match Thread Everton v Aston Villa - Team Prediction, Match Report & MotM Poll

[h8kurdt]

Really, really need DCL to find his scoring boots today. We pray in hope.

 

[Blue Roo]

Dread reading the lineup - thank god its a back 4.
And with Seamus in we got more than a chance.
COYB!

 

[Moderatelywarmwater]

Expecting a win today. These aren’t good on the road.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Villa is our bogey team, no matter what happens or what is going on we rarely beat Villa in the league.

Last time we beat Villa: 01/03/2016

Everton last 9 v Villa
Wins: 0
Draw: 2
Lost: 7

In the Premier League era the teams have met 57 times since 1992, Everton have won just 13...

I have no confidence we will win today. Haven’t beaten these in the last 9 league games and I see no reason why it will be 10th time lucky today. They have beaten Man City and arsenal already this season and fighting for champions league and we’ve lost to luton, Fulham and wolves at home this season already. We barely ever seem to score goals against them and the past few home games against villa have been nothing short of pathetic. I hope we smash these and win but being realistic I just can’t see it.

 

[Mr PEN86]

Happy with that team. Myko has to stay focused against Bailey today. McGinn's tenancity will infuriate me again today I'm sure so Onana and Garner need to be really combative against him today. No Pau so DCL should give Lenglet a hard time today. Danjuma and Harrison really need to get at those fullbacks especially Konsa who never looks comfy at fullback. Dyche should tell them to go long. Villa struggle with balls over the top. UTFT

Stinky record

 

[Furey1878]

Best XI we can field currently

 

[Steve EFC]

Don’t mind the starting lineup. Whether it’s enough against these is another matter.
I’d take a point today personally.

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Big Duke is back! How we’ve missed him.

No Dele…..

If only to
Watch the heads explode here, it would be worth it

 

[Shibbywiggles]

Remember we dominated these at their place in the cup for 75 mins and still got the win over the line after a ropey finish

Both teams rested a couple of key players that day but they had a very strong team throughout

With that record in mind and the relative league positions (3rd vs 12th) then a draw would be a decent result.

However, with Seamus and the Duke back then I'm looking for more - COYB

McNeill on the bench - wild.

Seamus in for the start.

Being on the bench for a Sean Dyche team is the equivalent of being out of the squad for every other team
