What channel is Everton v Aston Villa Premier League match on? Kick off time and latest team news- 1 May 2021
Everton host Aston Villa in a crunch Premier League tie on Saturday evening.
Everton know they can take a giant step towards a European spot in the Premier League this season by beating out-of-form Aston Villa at Goodison Park on Sunday.
The Toffees have a game in hand over their other top-four rivals and have just six Premier League fixtures to advance from their current eighth place.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men ended a six-game winless streak in all competitions by beating Arsenal 1-0 last time out, with a Bernd Leno own goal gifting the Merseysiders three points.
But Villa will be no pushovers. Dean Smith’s side may be on a three-game winless streak but they have aspirations of bursting into the top half of the table before the season closes out.
These sides are yet to meet this season after their initial fixture was postponed. It means there are plenty of unknowns as they clash for the first time since a 1-1 draw last July.

Our prediction: Everton v Aston Villa
On paper these sides seem fairly evenly matched, but it is Everton who perhaps have the more star-studded XI that could prove crucial on Saturday.
Ancelotti’s forward four is a threat to any side and a win here could catapult the Toffees above Tottenham and Liverpool.
Villa’s defensive weaknesses were on display against West Brom last time out and that is what could fail them again here. Both teams should score, but the hosts are favourites to take the win.
Our prediction: Everton 2-1 Aston Villa (17/2 at bet365)
