These two teams lost in the first game week. Villa was dismantled by Newcastle and Fulham won with a clean sheet against Everton. The similarities end there as Villa has dominated Everton over the last while and ended last season strongly. In their last 7 at home Villa is 7-0 and has only conceded 2 goals. Everton has trouble scoring as last season they only managed 34 goals in 38 games.

Villa is 6-0-2 in their last 8 vs. Everton and 4-0 in their last 4 home matches vs. Everton. In their last 6 head to head Villa has outscored Everton 12-2.

Both managers have problems with availability of starters but this should not reduce Villa’s superiority. Pick Villa on this one.
