Aston Villa Recent Form and Tactics
Villa beat the Toffees 1-0 on Wednesday, making it two league wins on the bounce to move up to 7th in the table. With David Moyes back in the Goodison dugout, it was always going to be a tough game, and Emery’s side were made to work for their victory.

The Midlands side squandered plenty of chances in the first half through Watkins, Tielemans and Ramsey as they made their dominance felt, and it was a sign of more to come in the second period. The deadlock was finally broken on 51 minutes when Watkins was fed in on goal by Rogers, and the former slotted the ball coolly past Pickford to open the scoring. Villa held on, but were mightily close to conceding a late leveller when Dominic Calvert-Lewin blazed over from close range after great work from Jesper Lindstrom on the right as Everton fell to a third-straight defeat.
Aston Villa Injuries to Consider
Villa will continue to be without Ross Barkley (calf) and key centre-backs Pau Torres and Diego Carlos, both of whom remain sidelined with foot injuries. McGinn continues to miss out due to his hamstring problem but could be back very soon according to Emery.
In transfer news, new signing from Borussia Dortmund Donyell Malen is available for selection and could play a part against Arsenal tomorrow.
