Aston Villa will look to build on their narrow FA Cup victory over Middlesbrough last weekend and continue their strong Premier League form with a win over Everton.
Unai Emery’s team entered the 2023/24 season with many expecting them to compete for the top four, but they’ve surpassed all expectations with a 42-point haul thus far. The Villans are only two points behind league leaders Liverpool, and they have edged ahead of Arsenal and reigning champions Manchester City.

Before Villa face Everton, let’s look at their latest injury updates and when the short-term sidelined players could return.
Only Glenn Murray (2.68), Marouane Fellaini (2.57), and Ashley Barnes (2.47) have a higher fouls per game ratio among Premier League players who have played more than 5,000 minutes over the last 20 seasons than Gomes. The Everton midfielder, who returned from a long-term injury in December, has already committed eight fouls in 159 minutes of action across all competitions, including one despite playing only one minute in the 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.
