da 888casino： With all eyes on Aston Villa over the last few weeks as the threat of relegation now looks serious, not helped with the bust-up between players and staff during what was supposed to be a team bonding session. Plus the Villa fans voicing their opinions on manager Gerard Houllier during their last home game, a trip to in-form Everton is not what the manager wanted.
da bwin： Everton are 2nd in the league form table having won 3 out of their last 4 games and are now 8th in the table and will be eyeing to finish as high up the league as possible with the remaining 8 fixtures. Goodison Park has also been a fortress for the Toffees where they’ve not lost in their last seven games.
Villa on the other hand is a contrast in the form guide, with the 2nd worst defensive record in the league and 17th in the form guide. They welcome back key defenders Richard Dunne and James Collins who both picked up slight knocks on international duty. However, in form full-back Kyle Walker is doubtful.

Despite Everton missing a few creative players, their home form should see them come out victors over what seems like a depleted Villa team. However, the form guide is often thrown out the window for these seemingly mis-match games but considering the attention on Villa lately, there will be added pressure on the squad to perform.
