FootyMad's prediction ...

An indifferent set of results for Everton on the road, and I believe this game is only going to yield a solitary point for the Toffees. Score draw

Sequence statistics:
Aston Villa 5 games since last home draw.
Not drawn a match in their last 4 .
Everton 4 games since last away draw.
No win in the 2 most recent games.
