When Everton received a penalty of 10 points, the Toffees corrected their tournament position as quickly as possible, giving a good winning streak. But now Everton are on the decline again, and the team again threatens the relegation zone.
Aston Villa lost important points in matches with Manchester United and Sheffield United, the team is now 3 points behind Liverpool, but now there is a high chance that Manchester City will overtake Aston Villa in the standings. A further loss of points could see the team drop out of the top 4 altogether.
Both teams need points today to solve their tournament problems, although there is a good chance of a draw in this game, as neither team will want to concede. But still Aston Villa looks the nominal favourite, as the team under Unari Emery starts every game very aggressively, scores a quick goal, then a lot depends on the game in defence.
Prediction: Aston Villa is closer to win than to lose. We recommend the “2 DNB” bet, odds 1.83
