Aston Villa will play Everton at Villa Park today, looking to take advantage of their strong home performance and move ahead of Manchester City into second place.
Under Unai Emery’s management, the team has been pushing through a tough winter and is now a serious title contender, only six points behind leaders Arsenal. Despite facing injuries in their midfield, Villa Park has become a stronghold for the team, aiming for their 12th consecutive home win in all competitions—a feat not achieved in a single season since 1972.
Aston Villa Team News
Unai Emery is managing a midfield with significant injuries. Boubacar Kamara and Ross Barkley are out with knee injuries, and Amadou Onana is also unavailable due to a muscle injury. On a positive note, goalkeeper Emiliano MartÃnez is fit to play after a minor calf issue caused him to miss the FA Cup win against Tottenham.
Therefore, Lamare Bogarde is likely to team up with Youri Tielemans in a changed midfield setup. Up front, Ollie Watkins will return to lead the attack after Donyell Malen’s transfer to Roma. Morgan Rogers, who has been involved in 10 goals in his last 12 matches, will support the creativity alongside John McGinn and Emiliano BuendÃa.
