A Formula One driver has dropped an interesting prediction for Everton’s clash with Aston Villa as he gave a special shoutout.
Everton are hoping to pick up from where they left off in the Premier League, as David Moyes will hope the international break hasn’t halted progression.
Many pundits are on board with the Toffees, as Paul Merson has backed Everton to beat Villa.
The attacking threat of Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye is what stands out, as the Blues are now looking like a feared opposition.
Formula One has now merged with the Premier League, as one driver has given his view on the encounter this Saturday.

Oscar Piastri says he’s still ‘reliving Tim Cahill days’ as he predicts Everton win vs Aston Villa
The main man from this Formula One season is McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, who currently leads the World Championship.
After his last race in Monza for the Italian GP, the Australian gave his predictions for the top flight’s return following the break, and explained how his fellow compatriot has played a part in his thinking for the Villa game.
“I’m still reliving the Tim Cahill glory days at Everton, so I’ll go 1-0 Everton.”

Piastri is clearly a fan of the Toffees hero who played a pivotal role at Goodison Park, as he is one of Australia’s finest footballers as well.
Cahill is one of Everton’s all-time greats, and fans will love to see him get a mention, but some actually wanted him to get back involved with the Merseyside outfit.
Everton fans want to see Tim Cahill join the board in the future
Following the F1 driver’s prediction, Piastri clearly knows all about how much of a success the Australian midfielder was at Goodison.
It’s clear that the 45-year-old has made a long-lasting impact, and he’ll no doubt love to see the Everton resurgence happening.
But Evertonians aren’t done with his time at the club, as fans wanted Cahill as a board member after his brilliant eight-year tenure.
The former Toffees star has experience as a technical advisor, and if the opportunity presented itself, it shouldn’t be turned down by the Friedkin Group.
Piastri believes Moyes’ side will get the win this Saturday, but it’s really Cahill who has inspired him to make this decision, and the fanbase would love to see him part of this new project.
