Aston Villa have kept more Premier League clean sheets against Everton than any other opponent (25) and have shut the Toffees out in eight of their last 10 meetings.

Aston Villa have won their last 11 home games in all competitions. They last had a longer run between March and October 1983 (14), while they last had a longer run in the same season between October and February in 1971-72 (12). Since David Moyes returned to the club last year, Everton have won nine of their 19 Premier League away games (D4 L6). Their previous nine away wins had come over a 65-game spell (D21 L35) across three different managers (Rafael Benítez, Frank Lampard and Sean Dyche). Everton have kept a clean sheet in four of their last five Premier League away games, and are looking to keep three consecutively on the road for the first time since May 2021 (4 under Carlo Ancelotti). Emiliano Buendía has been involved in 10 goals in all competitions this season (6 goals, 4 assists), his joint-best return in a single campaign for Aston Villa along with 2021-22 (4 goals, 6 assists).

Only Jérémy Doku (39) has created more chances from open play than Everton’s Jack Grealish (36) in the Premier League this season. Grealish has also been fouled more often than any other player this term (52). Copyright © 2026 BBC. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.
