Everton can move above Tottenham and Liverpool with a win at Villa Park on Thursday evening, but will have to be wary of the sting Aston Villa have in their attacking arsenal.

These sides played each other for the first time this season just two weeks ago, after their initial clash over the winter was postponed due to Covid-19.

Both teams have just four Premier League fixtures remaining and while Villa are seeking a top-half finish to the campaign, it is Everton who have the most to play for.

If they win the match, Carlo Ancelotti’s men will hand the impetus back to their Merseyside rivals and Spurs in the battle to claim a Europa League place for next season.

But Villa boss Dean Smith will be confident his side can edge above Leeds in the league after the 2-1 win they inflicted on the Toffees at Goodison Park at the start of May.

Our prediction: Aston Villa v Everton

Villa rumbled a flat Everton on Merseyside two weeks ago and there’s no question Smith’s troops can inflict the same defeat on their opponents again.

Having Grealish back would help cover for the loss of Watkins, but even without the playmaker Villa will look to control things here.

Everton have yet to truly get firing this spring and may struggle to build momentum at Villa Park. But they shouldn't be written off here. A draw wouldn’t be a surprise and both managers would probably take it.

Our prediction: Aston Villa 1-1 Everton (6/1 at bet365)
