Aston Villa XI vs Everton – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Aston Villa head to Goodison Park to face Everton in the Premier League on Thursday evening.

Unai Emery’s team are five points adrift of the Champions League places, with their league form inconsistent in recent weeks. However, successive wins since the turn of the year have improved the mood, after a 2-1 win over Leicester was followed by progress in the FA Cup’s third round.

Villa came from behind to beat West Ham on Friday night and progress in the cup. Goals from Amadou Onana and Morgan Rogers sealed an important, if unconvincing, win at Villa Park.

The Villans will be cautious of a potential ‘new manager bounce’ at Everton tonight. David Moyes takes charge of the Blues for the first time since returning to the club for a second spell.

Aston Villa team news

Villa completed the signing of Donyell Malen from Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday and the Dutchman could take his place in the matchday squad. The winger has arrived for an initial fee of €25m.

Jhon Duran is free to return from suspension and will battle with Ollie Watkins for a place at centre-forward. The Colombian has completed a three-match ban and boosts a Villa side who remain without Pau Torres due to a foot injury. Diego Carlos is a doubt, while Jaden Philogene is unlikely to feature as he nears a move to Ipswich Town.

Ross Barkley is set to miss out against his former club, though ex-Everton players Amadou Onana and Lucas Digne will form part of the visitor’s squad.
