Everton picked up an important 1:0 victory over relegation zone rivals Leeds United on Saturday to lift them out of the bottom three in the Premier League for the first time since 3rd of January. After winning their first three official matches, there is growing confidence that the Toffees can get out of their tough spot under new boss Sean Dyche. Moreover, the mentor has a personal record in full-time duels against Aston Villa, namely one defeat in six meetings. Dyche stated that home games will be very important because of the atmosphere that Goodison Park creates. What’s more, the Scousers can now record a third consecutive clean sheet in the Premier League for the first time since May 2019. Townsend and Calvert-Leain, who has a hip injury, will not be able to play today.
Mid-table Aston Villa look like the perfect opponent as they will arrive at Merseyside having lost three or more goals in each of their previous three Premier League matches. The fourth league defeat in a row would be the first since 1958 in the same unfortunate fashion, though it should be noted that two of those defeats came at Manchester City and Arsenal. For 23 rounds Birmingham recorded eight victories and four peaceful outcomes, which corresponds to 28 points and 11th position in the standings. In the last round the “lions” lost at home with a score of 2:4. In the infirmary of the team are Diego Carlos and Steer, who has a muscle injury.
