Date: Saturday, 13 September 2025
Kick-off time: 15:00 BST
Venue: The Hill Dickinson Stadium

Another big Premier League weekend, and this one has a bit of spice. Everton, buzzing after back-to-back wins, welcome Aston Villa to their new Hill Dickinson Stadium. The Toffees are sitting fifth with six points from three games, while Villa are down in 19th, still searching for their first goal of the season. Yeah, three games and zero goals – that’s painful. So, who gets the points this weekend? Let’s break it down.

Everton vs Aston Villa Team News

Everton:
David Moyes should have a stronger squad to pick from after the international break. Jarrad Branthwaite (hamstring), Nathan Patterson, and Adam Aznou are pushing for returns, which will tighten things up at the back. Jack Grealish is expected to start against his old club on the left wing, while Beto should lead the line again.

Aston Villa:
Unai Emery’s side are in a bit of an injury mess. Boubacar Kamara is still out, while Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana face late fitness tests. Andrés García is unlikely to make it. The big hope is Ollie Watkins, who’s had eight shots this season but hasn’t found the net yet. Villa need him firing, badly.

Likely Lineups

Everton (4-2-3-1):
Pickford; Patterson, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; Grealish, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye; Beto

Aston Villa (4-2-3-1):
Bizot; Cash, Konsa, Mings, Maatsen; McGinn, Tielemans; Malen, Rogers, Guessand; Watkins

Everton vs Aston Villa Betting Tips

Everton are going to fancy this. They’ve beaten Brighton and Wolves, scoring five and conceding just two. The momentum is with them, and the home crowd at Hill Dickinson has been electric.

Villa? They’ve looked toothless. No goals in three games and back-to-back defeats against Brentford and Palace. That’s not the form you want when you’re heading to a buzzing new stadium.

Betting angles worth a look:

• Everton to win & under 3.5 goals.
• Ollie Watkins over 2.5 shots (he’s been trying, even if he’s not scoring).
• Jack Grealish anytime assist – facing Villa, you know he’ll want a big game.

Everton vs Aston Villa Match Prediction

Everton are going to keep things tight, let their midfield dictate, and rely on Beto’s physical presence up top. Villa will try to play through McGinn and Tielemans, but unless Watkins rediscovers his finishing touch, they’ll struggle again.

Match Prediction: Everton to win. Bet with bet365.

Everton vs Aston Villa Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

Here’s the thing: Villa haven’t scored in three games, but they’re due one. Everton, meanwhile, are averaging just under two goals a game so far. That points towards a moderate scoreline rather than a goal fest.
