Everton vs Aston Villa

Everton will try to continue their resurgence and move further away from the relegation zone when they host slumping Aston Villa at Goodison Park.

QUESTIONABLE: Kevin De Bruyne (illness), Aymeric Laporte (illness) [Follow @AndyEdMLS](https://twitter.com/AndyEdMLS) OUT: Lewis Cook (knee), David Brooks (thigh), Lloyd Kelly (calf) On the other hand, the Cherries have conceded just 28 in 19 games since Scott Parker was fired following the 9-0 defeat to Liverpool (and the 3-0 defeat to Arsenal, and the 4-0 defeat to Man City, in successive games). QUESTIONABLE: Jesse Lingard (knee), Serge Aurier (knock), Ryan Yates (illness) [a 3-0 defeat at Manchester United, but the Foxes were very good for large spells of that game](https://soccer.nbcsports.com/2023/02/19/manchester-united-vs-leicester-video-highlights-reaction-analysis-recap/). Last weekend’s draw with Nottingham Forest was as shocking as it was painful for Manchester City (52 points – 2nd place), who remain two points back of leaders Arsenal having played one more game thus far. OUT: Maxwel Cornet (calf) OUT: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (thigh), Andros Townsend (knee) Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest (25 points – 13th place) have lost just one of their last seven (3W-3D-1L) and hope to avoid the end-of-season relegation scrap altogether. OUT: Jed Steer (calf) Of course, the Toffees are yet to become a goal-scoring juggernaut (to no one’s surprise), with Dominic Calvert-Lewin returning from his latest injury in last weekend’s 1-0 victory over Leeds. Since Sean Dyche arrived and replaced Frank Lampard, all that Everton (21 points) have done is win two of three games and climb from 19th to 16th in the Premier League table.
