Knowing that they can skyrocket their way into silver medal position on Sunday afternoon, Aston Villa will welcome Everton to the Midlands.
Shattering a string of records this season, Unai Emery’s men have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across the continent and some are even now billing Villa as Arsenal’s most serious title rival in 2026.
Almost sat in Premier League limbo, Everton have failed to find any kind of stability on either side of opening the New Year and the Toffees will be bracing themselves for another stern examination here.
Ahead of Sunday’s showdown from the Midlands, we have taken a look at some of the most attractive Aston Villa vs Everton Bet Builder Tips.
Villa looking to leapfrog Man City
Watching Manchester City fall to a 2-0 loss away at Old Trafford on Saturday lunchtime, Aston Villa have certainly be handed a golden opportunity when they return to the Midlands here.
Riding what has become a famous wave of momentum, Emery’s men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high and they now have their sights firmly set on leapfrogging the Sky Blues into silver medal position.
Breaking a string of records this season and once again pencilled in as a standout contender at Villa Park, the former PSG boss has seen his record-breaking squad suffer just a single defeat from any of their previous 15 consecutive appearances across all competitions.
Extending on their FA Cup adventure last weekend as they clinched a 2-1 victory away at Tottenham, Villa have also gained a fearsome reputation for their dominance on home soil.
In fact, in what is a sensational run of form, the Villains have won all of their previous 11 straight showdowns in the Midlands – a run that stems all the way back to the end of August.

Everton at their inconsistent worst
While Everton might have won four of their five Premier League appearances on either side of opening December, some around the blue half of Merseyside were dreaming of the opportunity to mount a genuine European charge.
However, suffering real heartbreak on home soil last weekend as they watched their FA Cup adventure come to an end following a penalty shootout defeat against Sunderland, the former West Ham boss has made his recent frustrations clear.
Getting the New Year underway with an action-packed 4-2 loss at home against Brentford, Sunday’s guests have recorded just a sole win from any of their previous seven appearances across all competitions.
Enduring what has become their most extended rut of the 2025/26 campaign, Everton will be more than aware that they face another stern examination when they travel to the Midlands this weekend.
Including a 3-2 defeat when they last travelled to the Champions League chasers back in September 2024, they have also failed to record a single Premier League win at Villa Park over the past decade.

Rogers to play a leading role
Only registering a single Premier League strike prior to returning from November’s international break, there was some speculation over Morgan Rodgers’ future in the Midlands.
However, bagging an FA Cup strike away at Tottenham last weekend, the former Middlesbrough starlet has continued to shine on either side of opening the New Year.
With his stock at a red-hot high, the 23-year-old is expected to be part of Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad this summer and he has now notched five goals in his previous seven appearances across all competitions.
Bagging consecutive Premier League braces against West Ham and Manchester United last month, Rogers has also formed a lethal partnership with fellow England international Ollie Watkins.
Playing a leading role in Villa’s charge to book a lucrative Champions League return in 2026, Rogers should be confident of stealing centre stage in the Midlands.
