LAST MEETING
August 29, 2010: Aston Villa 1-0 Everton
Luke Young scored an early goal to contribute to Everton's worst start to a Premier League campaign in over a decade.
PROBABLE LINE-UPS
Everton (4-5-1): Howard; Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines; Osman, Neville, Heitinga, Cahill, Bilyaletdinov; Beckford.
Aston Villa (4-5-1): Friedel; Walker, Dunne, Collins, Baker; Albrighton, Reo-Coker, A Young, Makoun, Downing; Bent.
Prediction
Everton will keep up their good form of late at the expense ofa desperate Villa side that is on the brink of falling into the relegation zone.
Cahill can provide the difference for the Toffees, who are looking increasingly difficult to beat, similar to the team that Moyes had last season.
The desperate times at the Birmingham-based club will continue into next week.
