Everton vs Aston Villa: Match Preview
Everton’s recent performances were underwhelming, and last Thursday the club sacked Sean Dyche following a 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth. Surprisingly, this announcement was made just hours before their FA Cup clash against Peterborough United. Everton named Leighton Baines and Seamus Coleman as interim managers and the team has secured a victory with a 2-0 scoreline. They will now look to carry forward their momentum when they take on Aston Villa.
On the flip side, Aston Villa are coming off a 2-1 Premier League win over Leicester City and 2-1 FA cup win over West Ham United. They hold a remarkable record at Goodison Park, remaining unbeaten in their five visits and securing clean sheets in their last three encounters.
