EPL - Everton at Aston Villa

Game Thoughts: Domestic action returns now that the International break is over and we'll look to continue a couple of our betting trends here and one is fading an Everton team that are a complete mess at the moment having dropped all 3 games and by a 10-2 margin. Financial problems for a team that was penalized points last season has them unable to bring in any quality players during the now closed transfer window and unfortunately they're likely to be dragged into the relegation battle when we get into the 2nd half of the season after Christmas. They'll travel to Aston Villa and this side has been solid this season with their only loss in 3 coming against Arsenal in what was a clear revenge spot after Villa ended Arsenal's title run with a surprise win at the Emirates. Villa has gone an unbeaten 4-0-1 their last 5 domestic league meetings at home and while they may be looking ahead to their first Champions League game next week I expect manager Unai Emery to have them ready to go Saturday.

The play is Aston Villa -1.0 -125
