European football contenders, Everton, host mid table secure Aston Villa on Saturday night with both sides looking to make the most of their game in hand over the teams around them.
The Toffees have been in average form as of late, winning against Arsenal but drawing three and losing three in the six previous games. After getting back to winning ways, Carlo Ancelotti will hope that his side can secure back to back wins for the first time since the first week of March.
Villa continue to flounder without talisman and captain, Jack Grealish and they are currently on three game winless run. A last gasp equaliser against West Bromwich Albion from Keinan Davis will boost his confidence but after leading just nine minutes in, Dean Smith would have hoped for a win.
