Aston Villa v Everton team news

Aston Villa: It is not known how many players have been affected by Covid-19 in the Villa camp in recent days but manager Smith will be hoping to have the majority of his players back.

After all, that was the reason for Villa not fielding a full-strength squad against Liverpool last time out, while their midweek game against Tottenham was postponed. Forward Wesley remains sidelined with injury.

Everton: Dominic Calvert-Lewin may miss this tie with a hamstring injury after also sitting out the win over Wolves.

Manager Carlo Ancelotti already has Fabian Delph, Jean-Philippe Gbamin and Allan sidelined.

Our prediction: Aston Villa v Everton

Villa’s preparation for this game may end up being non-existent due to coronavirus affecting at least nine members of the squad, and so Smith’s side could be somewhat unorthodox on Sunday.

This clash has already been pushed back in the hope of it being able to take place – and that will likely only help a well-rested Everton in their preparations for the encounter.

Villa are in good form but Everton have rediscovered their groove following a pre-Christmas blip and should be good for at least a point here.

Our prediction: Aston Villa 1-1 Everton
