‘There will be goals’ – Robbie Savage backs Aston Villa to bounce back from Newcastle hammering
Aston Villa manager Unai Emery
Planet Sport Bet ambassador Robbie Savage looks ahead to Sunday's Premier League clash between Aston Villa and Everton.
Many tipped Aston Villa to fight for a top four finish at the start of the season, though their campaign didn't get off to the best of starts.
Unai Emery watched on last weekend as his men fell to a stunning 5-1 loss away at Newcastle United.
The Villans will be looking to wipe the slate clean when they welcome Everton to Villa Park this Sunday afternoon.
Former Premier League midfielder Robbie Savage is backing Emery and his men to put on a show in front of their home fans.
He told Planet Sport: "Everton are winless in their last eight Premier League games against Aston Villa and where are their goals going to come from?
"Sean Dyche and his team will feel aggrieved the goal [against Fulham during their 1-0 defeat] was ruled out, absolute nonsense, it should've stood. But they go to Villa Park on the back of another defeat in the Premier League.
"Aston Villa, can they bounce back from that hammering at St James' Park? They've lost Tyrone Mings, but it's an opportunity now for a Pau Torres to come into the side.
"I think there will be goals in this one - all for Aston Villa. I'm going 2-0 for Villa."
Villa are known to start scoring early when they play at home. In fact, Emery's men have opened the scoring inside 30 minutes in each of their last four home Premier League outings.
Everton, however, are under pressure to deliver a result following their defeat to Fulham last week.
The Toffees don't want another relegation battle on their hands and the quicker they start picking up wins, the easier their campaign will be.
