Villa – Everton; another six pointer

I’m sure none of us need to be told how important this game is.
Quite simply, if Leicester beat Newcastle (very likely), Sunderland beat Southampton (not very likely, but you never know) and we lose, we’re back in the bottom three again.

Prior to the Man City game, I was feeling incredibly upbeat about our chances of survival, but we’ve been dragged back into it somewhat and I’m now feeling just a little nervous again.
I still think we’ll be ok, but getting the points that would move us up the table would just be nice.

Our five previous meetings against Everton at home aren’t very encouraging, with us having won one, drawn two and lost two.
And apparently Everton tore Man Utd a new proverbial last week, so it’s not as though they’ve got their suitcases packed, even though they’re quite safe, with nothing really to play for.
So we know it’s going to be a tough game.

Injury wise, Everton aren’t doing to badly and might be able to field an unchanged side.

Villa, on the other hand, have Clark and Baker out for the rest of the season and Gabby still has a tight Hamstring, if he hasn’t actually been dropped, that is. I’m not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, as while I think we actually look a better side without Gabby, he’s actually got more goals against Everton than any other Premier league player. And his pace always makes him a useful asset, even if only as an impact player later in a game.

On the upside, Hutton returned to training this week, but you’d have to think that this game is probably too soon for him.
Sinclair is available again, as is Sendoros, who might well be needed, if Vlaar or Okore get crocked.

Seeing that we didn’t pay Man City much respect last week, I’d expect us to go all out to get the three points.
And given that this fixture often produces goals, I’m going for more than two overall.
Our defence makes me worry, so we’re going to concede at least one in my opinion.
But we have the capability to score now.
Hence I’m going for a 2-1 win to us.

Here’s hoping, eh?

  3. Stat from the commentator: We score 1 in every 6 shots under Sherwood compared to 1 in 16 under Lambert.

  6. Sunderland 1-1 Southampton
    West Ham 1-0 Burnley – Burnley on 10 men
    Liverpool 1-0 QPR

  11. I think we found our set piece taker. Grealish is just amazing on those.

  13. I’ve been peeking at the results every 15 minutes or so as I can’t bear to listen to the radio and really glad its not on the telly.

    2-0 and they’re playing brill so I’m told. Another 45 minutes of nail biting left. If we win this game I honestly think we’ll be there and anyway if we can hold on and beat Everton we’ll beat the Hammers next week too.

    Please just keep it up lads!

  14. Everton haven’t made a comeback win in over a year. I mean the last time they did it was against us, but the way we’re playing? I can’t see it.

  16. FFS….We desperately need a clean sheet today lads. Please, please, please. I’m a nervous wreck going into the second hald!
    RIP…Mrs Ferdinanc ….Rio’s wife who sadly passed away last night!
    Congratulations to Prince William and Kate on the birth of their baby girl……another Villa fan is born!
    Clean sheet please!

  19. Where the fuck did that come from? What a shambolic attempt to clear the ball. Come on guys wake Howe could be in bottom 3 if we don’t win

  20. Soft penalty, should have been cleared for a corner. Everton player clearly offsie as well. Dont panic
