David Moyes will make his return to the home dugout at Goodison Park 12 years after leaving the club when Everton host Aston Villa in the Premier League on Wednesday.

Everton:

David Moyes begins his second stint as Everton manager, tasked with halting their alarming decline. The Toffees have failed to beat Aston Villa in the league since 2016, with eight losses in their last 11 meetings. Sitting perilously close to the relegation zone, Everton have struggled in front of goal, scoring just 15 times this season. While defensive solidity under Sean Dyche was commendable, fan frustration with negative tactics grew, leading to his dismissal. Moyes will look to revitalize the attack and end a run of poor results against Villa. A win would not only lift spirits at Goodison Park but also provide a platform to rebuild confidence in the fight for survival.

Aston Villa:

Unai Emery’s Villa side remains in contention for a top-four spot, but their away form is a major concern. Five consecutive losses on the road, with at least two goals conceded each time, have hindered their progress. However, Villa’s recent dominance at Goodison Park—unbeaten in five visits and without conceding in their last three—offers hope. Emery’s men have started the year with back-to-back 2-1 wins, but their performances against Leicester and West Ham were far from convincing. As they prepare for a busy schedule, including Champions League fixtures, Villa must address their defensive frailties to stay in the hunt for European places.
