Less than two weeks ago, Villa was a better team at Goodison Park, defeating Everton 2-1 away from home. Both sides can still fight for the last European spot, and will give their best in the Thursday night duel. The last time Everton visited Villa Park resulted in the hosts' 2-0 triumph, with Villa undefeated in their previous three meetings with Everton. Dean Smith's men haven't performed well recently, mostly due to Jack Grealish's absence. Aston Villa has won only one of its last five games, and is without a victory here for three consecutive home matches. Ancelotti's squad continues to play great on their visits, losing only to Chelsea in 2021. However, James Rodriguez's injury is still a problem for the guests, and will surely impact their performance.
The hosts are without Trezeguet, Sanson, Watkins, and the already-mentioned Jack Grealish. AVFC is coming from a 1-3 loss against Manchester United, but is happy to avoid travelling and will play its second consecutive home game. Villa has been solid on this ground throughout the season, taking at least a point in half of their home matches. The hosts' poor form didn't stop them from scoring in their last six matches, with them mostly losing points due to shaky defence. After barely staying in the league last season, Aston Villa has been one of the biggest positive surprises of this campaign, starting the season phenomenally, even fighting for the top-four at some point. I can see them taking Everton down once again, and will go with them as my pick.
The guests are without Gbamin, Mina, and Rodriguez. Everton is coming from a tough visit against West Ham, and will go a bit easier into this duel. Their only victories in the last two months were both minimal, 0-1 against West Ham and 0-1 against Arsenal. The most I can see Everton doing here is sharing points. Good luck!

不到两周前，维拉在古迪逊公园球场还不错，在主场2-1击败埃弗顿。双方仍有可能争夺最后一个欧战席位，并将在周四晚上的决斗中发挥出自己的最佳水平。上次埃弗顿做客维拉公园球场的时候，他们以2:0的比分战胜了对手，在之前的三场比赛中，维拉都没有输过。迪恩·史密斯的手下最近表现不佳，主要是因为杰克·格里利什的缺席。阿斯顿维拉近五场比赛只赢了一场，而且已经连续三场主场比赛没有一场胜利。安切洛蒂的球队在客场依然表现出色，仅在2021年输给了切尔西。然而，詹姆斯·罗德里格斯的受伤对嘉宾来说仍然是个问题，肯定会影响他们的表现。
维拉没有特雷泽盖，桑森，沃特金斯，和已经提到的杰克·格里利什。AVFC刚从1-3输给曼联的比赛中恢复过来，但很高兴能避免旅行，并将连续第二场主场比赛。整个赛季，维拉在这片土地上都很稳固，在他们一半的主场比赛中至少拿了一分。东道主糟糕的状态并没有阻止他们在过去的六场比赛中进球，他们大部分都因为防守不稳而失分。在上赛季勉强留在联赛后，阿斯顿维拉已经成为本赛季最大的积极惊喜之一，本赛季的开局令人印象深刻，甚至在某些时候还在为前四争得一席之地。我相信他们会再次击败埃弗顿，我也会选择他们。
