Everton v Aston Villa preview: Team news, head-to-head, stats and prediction

Everton remain without Dominic Calvert-Lewin because of a hamstring problem and Nathan Patterson has suffered a minor setback in his recovery from a knee injury.

Aston Villa head coach Unai Emery reported no fresh injury concerns in his squad.

Diego Carlos is in the final stages of his recovery from a ruptured Achilles but is not expected to play.

CHRIS SUTTON'S PREDICTION

At home is where it is happening for Sean Dyche, who has won both his games at Goodison Park since taking charge at Everton. It's clear the backing they get there will play a big part if his side are going to stay up.
