Aston Villa travel away to Goodison Park this afternoon as they take on Sean Dyche’s Everton in the Premier League with the aim of ending their current run of defeats.

Unai Emery’s side have lost their last three matches in the English top-flight and they now have the chance to get back to winning ways against the Toffees.

The Villans were beaten 4-2 by Arsenal at Villa Park in their last outing, despite going 1-0 and 2-1 up thanks to goals from Ollie Watkins and Philippe Coutinho.

Mikel Arteta’s men scored twice in stoppage time, through an Emi Martinez own goal and Gabriel Martinelli, and Emery could make some changes to his team from that match.

Here is how Villa could line up for the clash…

How will Aston Villa line-up against Everton?

Emery could make three alterations to his team in an attempt to get back to winning ways, with a change right across the pitch.

The first change could see Ashley Young replace Matty Cash after the Poland international struggled last weekend – losing five of his six duels and completing 71% of his passes.

The Englishman has won 65% of his battles and completed 76% of his passes in the Premier League this season and could, therefore, be more reliable on and off the ball in the right-back position by being strong in his physical contests and not gifting the ball back to the opposition as much.

In midfield, Jacob Ramsey could then come in to replace John McGinn to give the team an attacking boost.

The “terrific” 21-year-old – as dubbed by ex-manager Steven Gerrard – dynamo has produced eight goals and three assists in the division since the start of last season, whereas the Scotsman has only struck three times and does not offer as much quality in the final third.

Finally, Jhon Duran could finally enter the attack to start alongside Watkins at the top end of the pitch.

Emi Buendia produced an excellent dummy in the build-up to Coutinho’s goal against Arsenal but Football FanCast have recently published an article explaining why the Colombian international should start in his place, which is why the Argentine gem could be axed today.

Aston Villa predicted XI (4-2-2-2): Martinez; Young, Konsa, Mings, Moreno; Ramsey, Luiz, Kamara, Coutinho; Duran, Watkins.
