Everton Building on Home Crowd

Everton football fans have turned Goodison Park into a hostile atmosphere. At times over the years, the ambience at the stadium was flat. However, due to an unjust points deduction, the fans have taken on the responsibility of letting the EPL and every away team feel their frustrations. It is quite strange to believe that Everton are just a single point above the relegation zone despite the fact that they have won eight of their opening 20 league games.

Sean Dyche is the new man at the helm and he is slowly starting to replicate his impressive stint at Burnley. However, Everton is a far larger club than Burnley and it is a joy to watch this traditional English manager stick to his principles. The team plays with two up-top, four in midfield and four in defense. This season alone, Dyche has transformed one of his workhorse midfielders into a goal scoring machine. Abdoulaye Doucouré has scored six goals in the league, whilst former Burnley midfielder Dwight McNeil has claimed four assists.

The Everton fans are surely going to turn up to the game in high spirits. After receiving the ten-point deduction, Everton lost their first game against Manchester United, before going on a four-win-running spree.

Aston Villa to Make a Statement?

The reason why Unai Emery has transformed Aston Villa into a title-challenging team is due to his impressive home form. His side have won nine of the 10 home games they have played, drawing once. Away from home, however, Aston Villa have yet to make a big impression. The team has played 10 away league games, winning four, drawing twice and losing four. Aston Villa will want to prove to the league that they are going to battle it out for as long as they can. Winning a Goodison Park, a challenging place to go, would make a strong statement to the rest of the teams in the league.

Aston Villa have plenty of goal scorers in their team. Their main scorer is Ollie Watkins, who has nine league goals so far. However, behind Watkins, Villa have goals all over the park including contributions from Douglas Luiz, Leon Bailey and John McGinn. One of the main reasons why they are so high in the league is due to the fine form of World Cup winner Emiliano Martínez, who has kept four clean sheets and many more goals from going in.
