"Riding what has become a famous wave of momentum, Emery's men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high and they now have their sights firmly set on leapfrogging the Sky Blues into silver medal position. Breaking a string of records this season and once again pencilled in as a standout contender at Villa Park, the former PSG boss has seen his record-breaking squad suffer just a single defeat from any of their previous 15 consecutive appearances across all competitions."
"Extending on their FA Cup adventure last weekend as they clinched a 2-1 victory away at Tottenham, Villa have also gained a fearsome reputation for their dominance on home soil. In fact, in what is a sensational run of form, the Villains have won all of their previous 11 straight showdowns in the Midlands - a run that stems all the way back to the end of August."
Aston Villa approach the match in red-hot form, aiming to leapfrog Manchester City into second place. Unai Emery's squad has suffered only one defeat in their last 15 outings across all competitions and have broken multiple club records this season. Villa extended their momentum with a 2-1 FA Cup win at Tottenham and have won 11 consecutive home matches since late August. Everton arrive lacking consistency and stability, especially around the New Year, and will face a stern test against a Villa side described as a serious title contender.
