Everton vs Aston Villa live stream: How to watch Premier League game online and on TV, team news

The Everton vs Aston Villa live stream features a home side hoping to return to winning ways after a string of defeats but the visitors will provide a tough test — and you can watch it live from anywhere with a VPN.

Everton are now just a point above the relegation zone. The side’s 10 points deduction coupled with three defeats in a row against Wolves, Man City and Tottenham has seen them tumble back towards the EPL trap door. But cooler heads will likely prevail on Merseyside, manager Sean Dyche knows how to win a relegation battle, and Everton have already proved this season they have more than enough grit about them to grind out results when needed. 

Nevertheless, Aston Villa aren’t the ideal visitors to Goodison Park right now. Villa are enjoying a high-flying season and currently sit in second place behind league leaders Liverpool. Their most recent result was a slender victory over Burnley thanks to a controversial penalty minutes from the final whistle. It wasn’t a vintage Villa performance but the hallmark of a quality side is the ability to win even when not playing at your best. 

Here's how they line up:

Everton: Pickford, Coleman, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Onana, Garner, Doucoure, Harrison, Danjuma, Calvert-Lewin.

Aston Villa: Martinez, Konsa, Carlos, Lenglet, Moreno, Kamara, Luiz, Bailey, McGinn, Diaby, Watkins.

The Everton vs Aston Villa live stream should feature a compelling game as both sides battle for all three points. And we’ve all the details you need to watch from anywhere down below.
