Match Thread Everton v Aston Villa - Team Prediction, Match Report & MotM Poll

[Jamo Martinez]

Not optimistic. They're always up for it against us.

Whatever happens, I hope McGinn spontaneously combusts.

A big game in the scheme of things with our rivals finding some form of late, a win at home against a very good Villa side would be a welcome boost especially after our recent blip.

I would continue with DCL upfront despite his barnen run infront of goal and hopefully he will be joined by Doucoure returning.

But as 1 comes back, 1 goes out. No word on McNeil on how long he will be out for and rumours of Danjuma off to Lyon means that left side spot is up for grabs. But by who?

Coleman back in verses Palace was a welcome addition so defensively we have options open to us and given how well we played away in the cup against Villa, maybe Dyche goes to a 5 at the back.

My XI v Villa
Pickford
Coleman - Tarkowski - Branthwaite
Patterson - Harrison - Onana - Garner - Mykolenko
Doucoure
DCL

Villa are in that group of clubs I dislike slightly less than the others so I’m not hating them having a good season.

But we’ve had the break we were desperate for & I can see our defense coming out on top.

Beto to bundle one in off his arse late. 1-0 to the boys.

My XI, based on if Doucoure is fit enough to start:

Pickford

Coleman - Tarkowski - Branthwaite - Mykolenko

Garner ------------ Onana

Harrison ----- Doucoure ---- Danjuma

DCL​

If this is the case, it's likely that Doucs would only get about 60-65 minutes. We're gonna miss McNeil IMO.

Is Dyches conference tomorrow or friday?

Will be Friday.

When was it that if we had beaten these, we would have gone second?

I remember losing that game badly.

I don't like these guys.

Feel like that was at the start of the Ancelotti season when spirit of the blues was top of the pops as well

Feels like a hundred years ago now sadly

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

If they can put 9 or more past us this weekend with the RS not playing Villa could go top. However I see this as a 1-1 draw...

Tierney on VAR? No need to watch this then. One of the worst around.

Their away form is patchy. If we can keep it tight we've a chance, albeit they're a better team than us. I'm going for a 1-1 with us scoring first.

They're all honkin mate.
