Aston Villa are on a roll and have the opportunity to continue their unexpected Premier League title pursuit when Everton visit today.
Unai Emery’s team knocked Spurs out of the FA Cup last weekend and have now secured victory in 13 of their last 15 games.
They now face an Everton side that has lost its form, managing just one win in their last seven matches, so Villa will be hopeful of securing another three points.
Aston Villa vs Everton top betting tips
Earlier in the season, Everton posed a significant threat with Iliman Ndiaye, Jack Grealish, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall playing behind a single striker.
So it’s no surprise that results have suffered since Dewsbury-Hall was injured and Ndiaye left for the Africa Cup of Nations with midfielder Idrissa Gueye.

Grealish has also missed a couple of matches due to illness and suspension, but he’s back for this one, providing a boost for David Moyes.
The winger often draws a lot of fouls and Matty Cash is likely to be tasked with containing him. BetMGM offers 29/20 on the Villa right-back committing over 1.5 fouls, which seems a solid bet.
Villa are in such strong form that they should leverage home advantage to secure the win. They’re favorites at 7/10, but adding under 4.5 goals increases the odds to evens at Betway.
Senegal vs Morocco
The Africa Cup of Nations concludes tonight, with hosts Morocco hoping the home crowd will help them clinch victory against Senegal.
The prospects aren’t promising for an exciting match, with only two of the last 10 AFCON finals featuring more than one goal.
Both semi-finals were lackluster, with just one goal between them, so it might be wise to bet on another low-scoring affair.
Under 2.5 goals pays 10/21 at Unibet, but opting for under 1.5 goals raises the odds to 11/8 with BetMGM.
Both semi-finals were tied at halftime, so a halftime draw looks appealing at 19/20 with 888Sport, while betting on most goals in the second half returns 13/10 at the same bookie.
For a long-odds bet, combining cards for Idrissa Gueye and Noussair Mazraoui offers 14/1 at Bet365.
