Aston Villa Starting XI Prediction at Everton FC

By

Aston Villa visits Everton FC in a matchup of two sides that badly need a win, but for very different reasons. Given how Aston Villa FC have ascended, as a club these past couple seasons, not qualifying for Europe in 2025-26 would be seen as a major step back. So far, 2024-25 has not gone the way that Villa and their fans have expected, or wanted. They're not in line for UEFA … [Read more...] about Aston Villa Starting XI Prediction at Everton FC

Aston Villa Team News at Everton: Jhon Duran, Diego Carlos, Emiliano Martinez

By

Aston Villa will get striker Jhon Duran back from suspension tomorrow night, when they visit Everton FC. It was certainly a very questionable, to say the least, ban because Duran was put in a tough position where there really wasn't anything he could do. But now that Jhon Duran is back, this should help the Villans bang in the goals, at a lower table side that is once again in … [Read more...] about Aston Villa Team News at Everton: Jhon Duran, Diego Carlos, Emiliano Martinez

Aston Villa Team News vs West Ham: McGinn, Torres, Philogene

By

Aston Villa has seen their season take a sight turn for the worse, and that was before their team captain, John McGinn, went down with a hamstring injury.

Aston Villa Starting XI Prediction vs Brighton

By

Aston Villa hosts Brighton & Hove Albion in a matchup that should be very even-handed. After all, it is ninth versus 10th, so it should be pretty much even strength. Some might call this "mid-table mediocrity," but we prefer to think of it as a toss up between two sides eager to move on up on the table. Both Villa and Brighton have qualified for Europe in recent years, … [Read more...] about Aston Villa Starting XI Prediction vs Brighton

Aston Villa Team News vs Brighton: Jhon Duran, Matty Cash, Jacob Ramsey

As you can see from the embedded video below, he really didn't deserve a red card for this incident. Also, a three match ban? That's ludicrous. Jhon Duran will start serving the suspension tomorrow against Brighton & Hove … [Read more...] about Aston Villa Team News vs Brighton: Jhon Duran, Matty Cash, Jacob Ramsey
