3 Leg SGM
EPL: Aston Villa v Everton Sunday, 20th August 11.00pm AEST
EPL’s most prominent fixture, as both Aston Villa and Everton meet for the 229th time. No other two English teams have met more with Villa slightly ahead overall 86-60-82.
New signing Moussa Diaby started his Villa career with a bang, scoring last week.
Diaby averages 2.84 shots per 90 minutes and scores at 0.37 goals per game, and assists once every four games. This ranks him highly in his position across Europe’s big five leagues. This is all the more impressive when you consider that he has rarely been playing for a truly top side, having spent last year at a rebuilding Bayer Leverkusen team in Germany.
Villa should win today or at worst draw, and Diabyis likely to be crucial if they do.
Amadou Onana committed three fouls last week and few would bet against him adding at least another foul to that total from this match. A defensive central midfielder that draws and hands out plenty of fouls.
In his 29 premier league games for Everton last season, he committed at least one foul in 24 of those games. History suggests when Onanastarts, he usually fouls, so this looks a near certainty.
