The two clubs come into this clash with very different moods. Everton have found a new lease of life under their fresh-look squad, winning two of their first three league matches before the break.
In contrast, Aston Villa endured a miserable start, failing to score in their opening three games for just the second time in club history.
For the Toffees, this game is another chance to build momentum at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium, where they beat Brighton in match day 2. For Villa, it’s about finding their feet and ending a poor run of form in front of goal.

Everton to win
Everton’s form in the Premier League has been outstanding with five wins from six, as many as in their previous 21 league games.
At home, they’re chasing three successive wins for the first time since May 2024. While Villa boast a strong recent record against them (unbeaten in 12 head-to-heads since 2016), they’ve looked blunt this season, failing to score in three straight matches.
With Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall creating more chances than any other Englishman in the league so far, the Toffees have the momentum. At 29/20 with Bet365, Everton look a value pick to finally end their Villa hoodoo.
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Everton beat Aston Villa regardless of the score
Jack Grealish to score or assist
Jack Grealish has been Everton’s creative spark since his summer arrival, producing back-to-back two-assist games before the international break - the first player in the club’s history to manage that.
No Premier League player has ever assisted 2+ goals in three consecutive appearances, so history beckons here.
With Bet365 offering 7/5 on Grealish to score or assist, there’s value in backing the playmaker to stay central to Everton’s attacking output, especially against a Villa defence that has already shown cracks this season.
Tip: Jack Grealish to score or assist@7/5
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Jack Grealish scores or assists against Aston Villa
Iliman Ndiaye to have 1+ shots on target
Iliman Ndiaye has been another key figure for Everton. He has registered at least one shot on target in each of his last two games and has scored in back-to-back appearances.
With confidence high and his ability to press and test goalkeepers, the 61/100 on Bet365 for Ndiaye to record at least one effort on target feels like a banker.
Add in the fact he’s been averaging multiple tackles per match, and he looks nailed-on for another busy performance.
Tip: Iliman Ndiaye to have 1+ shots on target @61/100
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Iliman Ndiaye plays at least one shot on target against Aston Villa.
