David Moyes is making his much-anticipated return to Everton for the second time. The Scot will be back on the sidelines at Goodison Park on Wednesday night, as his team takes on Aston Villa in the Premier League. Moyes's return to the Toffees comes after his departure from West Ham at the end of last season, and his appointment as the new manager following the sacking of Sean Dyche.
This is not Moyes's first time at the helm of Everton, as he previously managed the team from 2002 to 2013. During his tenure, the Toffees were consistently challenging towards the top of the table, although they did not manage to secure any silverware. However, Moyes's efforts were recognized with three LMA Manager of the Year awards.
On his return, Moyes will face a tough opponent in Aston Villa, who are currently in eighth place with a record of nine wins, five draws, and six defeats. They have struggled to find consistency in their performances, but are coming off back-to-back wins against Leicester City in the Premier League and West Ham in the FA Cup.
In contrast, Everton find themselves in a precarious position, sitting at 16th place and just one point above the relegation zone. Unai Emery, the manager of Aston Villa, will be looking to spoil Moyes's homecoming and add another victory to his team's record.
The match between Everton and Aston Villa will kick off at 7:30 PM on Wednesday, January 15th, at Goodison Park. For those unable to attend the game, it will be broadcasted live on TNT Sports 2, with the option to stream it on Discovery+.
One player to watch out for in this game is James Tarkowski, who is expected to make an impact on Wednesday night.
In terms of team news, Everton will be without Dwight McNeil, Timothy Iroegbunam, Youssef Ramalho Chermiti, and Armando Broja due to various injuries. However, they can count on the availability of Dominic Calvert-Lewin. On the other hand, Aston Villa will be missing the services of John McGinn, Ross Barkley, and Pau Torres due to injuries.
As the game approaches, the odds are in favor of Aston Villa, with 11/5 for Everton, 17/10 for a draw, and 11/10 for Aston Villa. It promises to be an exciting match, as both teams aim to secure a crucial victory.
