Match Summary
Everton have managed just two wins since the Premier League (PL) restart (W2, D2, L2) and will be concerned about their faltering attack that has netted over 1.5 goals in just one of those matches. They have also failed to score completely in two of their previous three PL fixtures, although that has happened in just 23.53% of their PL home matches this season.
Although their recent form is patchy, the ‘Toffees’ boast the division’s second-longest unbeaten home run - ten matches (W5, D5). However they often start their home fixtures well, but tail off in the latter stages. They have scored 59.09% of their PL home goals in the first half, but 70.59% of the league goals they’ve conceded here came in the second period.
Aston Villa ended a ten-game winless PL run (D2, L8) with a 2-0 victory last time out. That game also saw them secure just their sixth league clean sheet of the season, yet none have come on the road. Additionally, their goals conceded average of 1.86 per game remains the second-highest in the PL.
The visitors are winless in eight competitive away H2Hs (D4, L4), conceding 2+ goals in seven of those fixtures. Furthermore, there was a goal scored inside the opening 20 minutes in four of the previous five H2Hs here.
Players to watch: Everton’s Richarlison has three goals across his previous five PL home matches - two came before HT.
After ten competitive matches without a goal, Trézéguet netted twice in Villa’s 2-0 victory in their last PL fixture. Both came in the 15 minutes before or after the break.
Stat attack: There were over 1.5 goals by HT in three of Everton’s previous four PL home matches.
Everton have trailed at HT in just one of their 17 home league games.
Aston Villa have conceded 74.29% of their PL away goals during the second half.
