Forum Comp Day 6, SATURDAY. Everton v Aston Villa @ 8pm

Tikay10 · April 2021

This is a "game in hand" for both clubs. If Everton win it, they go joint 5th with West Ham on points, but more importantly, they leapfrog Liverpool.

For Villa, the season has fizzled out & they sit mid-table, may already be on the beach. To be fair, after last season, they'd have bitten your hands off for mid-table this time around.

Opta stats

Everton failed to win either Premier League game against Aston Villa last season (D1 L1), the first time that had happened since 2011-12. Everton last went three games without a win against the Villans between 2006 and 2012 (12 without a win).

This will be the 205th top-flight meeting between Aston Villa and Everton, the most played fixture in England's top division. Everton have won 76 of these meetings to the Villans' 74 (54 draws).

Aston Villa have won more games (19) and scored more goals (71) in the Premier League against Everton than they have vs any other side in the competition.

This is the latest first meeting between two sides in an English top-flight season since 1987-88, when Luton and Nottingham Forest's first game against each other was on May 13.

Everton have won just one of their last nine home league games (D3 L5), with that victory coming against Southampton in March (1-0).

Everton have lost seven Premier League home games this season - the Toffees have only lost more at Goodison Park in a 38-game season in the competition in 1996-97 and 2015-16 (eight, both times).

Aston Villa lost just four of their first 14 Premier League games this season, finishing 2020 in fifth place in the table. Since the turn of the year, the Villans have lost nine times in 18 matches, with only Sheffield United and Southampton losing more in 2021 (12 each).

Aston Villa have opened the scoring in each of their last three Premier League games but have failed to win any of them (D1 L2). In the first 14 games in which they scored first this season, the Villans only failed to win twice (W12 D1 L1).

12 of Everton's 44 Premier League goals this season have been headers, the highest ratio in the division (27.3 per cent). Meanwhile, Aston Villa have conceded the highest share of headed goals so far this season (24.3 per cent - 9/37).

No keeper has kept more away clean sheets in the Premier League this season than Aston Villa's Emiliano Martínez (eight). Only four keepers have ever kept more clean sheets on the road in their first season with a club in the competition - Shaka Hislop with West Ham in 1998-99 (nine), Petr Cech with Chelsea in 2004-05 (11), Ederson with Man City in 2017-18 (nine) and Liverpool's Alisson in 2018-19 (nine).
