Aston Villa v Everton: match preview Villa (probable, 4-4-2): Given, Hutton, Collins, Dunne; Warnock, Agbonlahor, Clark, Petrov, N'Zogbia; Keane, Bent. Out: Heskey (Achilles), Cuéllar (thigh), Herd (ankle), Lichaj (hip). Everton (probable, 4-4-2): Howard; Neville, Heitinga, Duffy, Baines; Donovan, Gibson, Cahill, Fellaini; Saha, Anichebe. Out: Distin (hamstring), Coleman (thigh), Hibbert (groin), Barkley, Jagielka, Osman (all knee). The Los Angeles Galaxy player, who has joined Villa on a two-month loan, will replace Achilles injury victim Emile Heskey - sidelined for a month - in the squad. Goalkeeper Shay Given is available after a six week lay-off with a hamstring problem but defender Carlos Cuéllar and midfielder Chris Herd are still ruled out. Meanwhile, new signing Darron Gibson goes straight into Everton's squad. The midfielder was registered in time to be eligible after his move from Manchester United. A hamstring injury to Sylvain Distin leaves manager David Moyes with more problems at centre-back as Phil Jagielka is still sidelined by a knee problem, which could mean a start for Shane Duffy, who only made his first league appearance as a substitute in the midweek defeat at Tottenham. Match Notes Surely a draw? Five of the past six meetings have been drawn, with three of the past four ending 2-2. Villa have lost four home games in succession and another defeat would be the worst home run for 49 years. But Everton have not beaten them in their past 11 league meetings and not won at Villa Park since 2005. If Robbie Keane scores on loan from LA Galaxy, he will become the seventh player to have scored against six clubs in the Premier League era. Everton should give Darron Gibson his debut after signing the midfielder from Manchester United. Betting: Home 7-5, Away 9-5, Draw 19-10. Stat of the game: Everton manager David Moyes bids for his 150th victory in the Premier League in his 371st game in charge. Gerry Cox's prediction: Aston Villa 2 Everton 2.
