Aston Villa Need to Recover from Shock Loss Last Weekend as They Entertain Everton
9737

We have reached the second round of fixtures in the English Premier League and the matches get underway with a meeting between Aston Villa and Everton on the 13th of August.

Aston Villa begin the weekend in 16th place on 0 points, with Everton just one place above them, also without a point to their name.

Aston Villa come into the match on the back of a disappointing 2-0 loss at newly promoted Bournemouth last weekend. It can be tricky going to the home of a newly promoted team on the first day of the season but Aston Villa should have done better.

They started slowly and conceded a goal after only 2 minutes. Having failed to get back into the match, Bournemouth added a second goal in the 80th minute to take maximum points.

If we go back to last season, that result means Aston Villa have failed to win any of their 5 most recent Premier League fixtures. In fact, Aston Villa have recorded only 2 wins from their last 12 Premier League matches, which is a poor record.

Home form in the Premier League shows Aston Villa have won only 1 of their last 6 games at Villa Park. They have kept just a single clean sheet in 2 of their last 13 home league matches and both teams have scored in each of their last 3 on home soil.

Everton make the trip to Villa Park having lost 1-0 at home against Chelsea on the opening day of the season.

Everton were the underdogs going into the game despite being the home team and stayed in the game until just before half time, when they conceded a penalty. That proved to be the only goal of the match as Everton struggled to create any clear goal scoring opportunities.

Including games from last season, that result means Everton have recorded only 1 win from their 5 most recent Premier League fixtures. The win victory came at home over Crystal Palace last season but Everton have lost 3 of their last 4 league matches.

Away form in the Premier League is poor and Everton have recorded just a single win from their last 17 away Premier League games. Trends show Everton have conceded 2 or more goals in 8 of their last 10 away league matches.

Team news and Aston Villa have no injury or suspension concerns. Emiliano Buendía and Ollie Watkins will both be hoping to start having been on the bench last weekend.

Everton have a significant injury list, including Benjamin Godfrey, Yerry Mina, Tom Davies, Andre Gomes, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Andros Townsend.

Aston Villa will see this is a must win game following last weekends defeat at Bournemouth. Everton look to be the perfect opposition considering their away record and although The Toffees could score, we expect to see Aston Villa take maximum points.
