Everton have somehow lost their excellent form in their defense as they had conceded a total of 8 goals in their last 3 English Premier League matches played. I think it will be very difficult for Everton to keep a clean sheet today when they play against Aston Villa despite having the advantage to play this match at their home stadium. I guess there is a high chance for Everton to continue their losing streak.
This season Aston Villa has performed better than in the previous season. Even Aston Villa is now ranked 3rd in the standings. So the Everton vs Aston Villa match should belong to Aston Villa. Because Everton's defense currently has many gaps, even though at the start of the season Everton had a pretty good defense. In fact, they are almost in the top 10. But because of the 10 point deduction, Everton fell into the relegation zone. And they fought to get out of the relegation zone and succeeded. But unfortunately their performance is actually decreasing. And if they lose again today, Everton will still not be safe in avoiding the relegation zone. Because currently Everton has the same number of points as Luton, who are in the relegation zone.
