The Aston Villa squad will want to put the 5-1 away thrashing they received from Newcastle United firmly behind them and may also need to find something to boost their confidence levels as a consequence.  They achieved 47% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Newcastle United's tally of 17 efforts at goal, 13 of which were on target.  

When it comes to attacking power Unai Emery will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 6 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 10 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped.  

They've had a good run of home form recently, with 7 straight wins in a row and are on an unbeaten run of 7 games.

The Everton squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Fulham, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  In that game they recorded 41 % of the possession, with 19 attempts on goal, 9 on target. Their opponents found the target on 2 of their 9 shots on goal.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 9 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 8, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.  

Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 away games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games.  

Abdoulaye Doucouré is the man of the moment at Everton right now and the toast of their travelling support, having notched up 4 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league.
