Aston Villa vs Everton Prediction

Current form

Villa's last 20 matches across all competitions show a side capable of big swings. They've won nine, drawn three and lost eight, scoring six past Fenerbahçe in Europe but also losing at home to Newcastle in the league. That's a mix of league, cup and continental fixtures, so it's not a pure form guide, but the pattern of feast-or-famine results stands out.

Aston Villa: 20 completed matches; Everton: 20 completed matches.

Everton's record over the same stretch reads very differently: eight wins, six draws and six losses. They've drawn more matches than they've won, including three blank scorelines against Tottenham, Bournemouth and Hull. Recent defeats have come against Arsenal and Chelsea, both away from home, while their wins have mostly come against sides lower down.

Villa's results swing between big wins and costly losses, while Everton look harder to beat but struggle to turn draws into victories.

Comparative Team Statistics: Aston Villa vs Everton

Head-to-head record

These two have met regularly over the years, and the recent meetings have mostly been close. Villa won 1-0 at home back in January 2026, but before that there was a 0-0 draw at Goodison Park, an Everton win, and a 3-2 Villa victory further back. There's no run of one side dominating the fixture lately.

Further back the head-to-head does include some heavier scorelines in both directions, but those are from earlier seasons with different squads, so they tell us little about the sides as they stand now.

League standings

Villa currently sit ninth with 12 points from nine league games, having won three, drawn three and lost three. Everton are 14th on 10 points from eight games, with two wins, four draws and two defeats. Everton have played one fewer match, so the gap is closer than the table position alone suggests.

Team news

John McGinn has been Villa's most productive creative outlet lately, picking up two assists in his last five appearances. Villa's João Gomes has also seen a red card in just two recent matches, which is worth keeping an eye on given the disciplinary pattern.

For Everton, James Garner has picked up two yellow cards in his last five outings, making him the one to watch on the booking front. None of this confirms who will actually be available come kickoff, since squads and fitness can change over the weeks before the match.
