Two sides from the opposite ends of the Premier Leaguetable cross swords as Sean Dyche's Everton host a high-flying Aston Villa side at home.
Everton's flawless gallop after receiving the points deduction has seen a shambolic turn as the Toffees have lost three straight games in England's premier division. The Merseyside outfit played a goalless draw against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup and will want to get back in form against Aston Villa.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, have defied all odds this season as they are seeded in second spot in the Premier League table with 42 points from their 20 games. Unai Emery's tactical masterclass has seen the Clarets brush aside opponents with ease and the visit to Everton could help them continue their winning form.
