Everton will look to extend their winning run when they host Aston Villa at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday.
The Toffees went into the international break with back-to-back wins over Brighton and Wolves to climb to fifth in the standings. Despite beginning the season with a 1-0 loss to Leeds United at Elland Road following a tepid display, the Blues have shown immense grit and character to turn the situation around and the mood in Finch Farm is buoyant and positive.
Their opponents, Aston Villa are yet to win a game this season. They began their campaign with a 0-0 draw with Newcastle before losing to Brentford and Crystal Palace.
This is the perfect opportunity for Everton to pick up another three points and march into the Merseyside derby brimming with confidence next weekend.
Everton vs Aston Villa - Team News and Predicted XI
Everton Team News
Everton will be without Jarrad Branthwaite, who is getting closer to match fitness but is not quite there yet. Vitalii Mykolenko might also be touch-and-go.
David Moyes clarified in his pre-match press conference that Mykolenko felt something during the match against Wolves but decided he was fit to travel for the national camp in Ukraine, where he suffered a setback again and returned to Finch Farm.
Patterson and Aznou are back in training, revealed Moyes, while adding he's not 100% sure if they are "match-ready." James Garner is likely to deputise at left-back once again.
Moyes also mentioned Iliman Ndiaye sustaining a possible knock on international duty and is not sure if he's ready to start on Saturday.
Everton predicted starting XI: Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Keane, Garner; Gueye, Iroegbunam; Dibling, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Beto
