Everton Predicted Lineup:
Everton Team News:
Everton have won consecutive games after a tough GW1 loss, and the new players have brought a real energy and quality to the team. Grealish and Dewsberry-Hall have been great since joining and are locked in starters at this point.
Branthwaite could return after the international break, but we have not received any updates on his status in a couple of weeks, so that’s a wait and see. He will replace Keane in the starting XI when he is fit.
I expect to see an unchanged starting lineup for Villa in GW4.
Beto started and scored against Wolves and likely keeps his place ahead of Barry.

Aston Villa Predicted Lineup:
Aston Villa Team News:
Villa have signed Jadon Sancho and Harvey Elliott on loan. Solid deadline day moves in positions Villa needed reinforcements in.
I don’t expect either to start in GW4 given they have just joined the team and will need time to adapt to what Emery wants from them.
It seems like Bizot is now Villa’s starting GK although Emi Martinez has remained at the club beyond deadline day. It’s a strange situation and we will see how it plays out.
Kamara’s original timeline was 2-3 weeks so he should be fit and ready to go against Everton.
Onana’s timeline was more unclear and sounded like it would be a more lengthy layoff for him. We will get more updates next week.
Emery has to stick with Tielemans playing deeper, as he did in GW3. McGinn will likely play in the 10 and Rogers can go back to playing LW as he did the first 2 weeks.
New signing Guessand started in GW3 at left-wing, but failed to really make any impact. He was substituted off in the 46th minute for Buendia who we predicted would start in the 10 role given some of Villa’s injuries. Clearly Emery is searching for the right balance and this lineup provides that.
