Aston Villa v Everton team news: Martinez + Buendia start

18 January 2026 275 comments

avfc82

The penultimate match of Gameweek 22 sees Aston Villa take on Everton at Villa Park.

Unai Emery’s men have won eight league matches in a row on home turf, and could climb up to second in the table with a point today.

Kick-off is at 16:30 GMT.

TEAM NEWS

Emery makes four changes from the goalless draw with Crystal Palace in Gameweek 21.

Pau Torres, Ian Maatsen, Lamare Bogarde and Emiliano Buendia come into the starting XI.

Victor Lindelof and Lucas Digne drop to the bench, while Boubacar Kamara is injured and Jadon Sancho misses out due to illness.

Emiliano Martinez starts in goal despite missing last week’s FA Cup win over Tottenham Hotspur with a calf issue.

Michael Keane serves game two of a three-match ban for Everton, with Nathan Patterson his replacement.

Further forward, Merlin Rohl comes in for the injured Tim Iroegbunam.

Elsewhere, Jack Grealish is back in the starting line-up after serving his one-match suspension in the FA Cup.

LINE-UPS

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Pau, Maatsen, Bogarde, Tielemans, McGinn, Rogers, Buendia, Watkins

Subs: Bizot, Wright, Lindelof, Digne, Garcia, Mings, Hemmings, Guessand, Jimoh-Aloba

Everton XI: Pickford, Patterson, Tarkowski, O’Brien, Mykolenko, Garner, Rohl, McNeil, Armstrong, Grealish, Barry

Subs: Travers, King, Beto, Dibling, Coleman, Aznou, Welch, Campbell

    No, total this season, but still feels very high when we tend to have 60 point GW as an arbitrary good target each week

  Went from 3.6m to 95k from GW11 to 19. Now fallen to 550k in a few weeks. This season has been a crazy roller coaster ride.

  Tarkowski just got Defcons as well, it keeps getting worse.
  Dubravka, Rodon, Tarkowski and Anderson here. Would have been a very respectable bench boost.

Last season 5 players scored 20+ goals and 4 more 15+ goals.
Can't see how we get anywhere close to that this season.

Double Chelsea defence or double Chelsea attack?

Sanchez Chalobah Palmer
Or Sanchez Enzo Palmer.

Only got 1FT so it's either Chalobah or Enzo in.

  Chelsea were very fortunate to keep a clean sheet yesterday but I'd hope they improve as they get to grips with Rosenior's ideas so I would err towards double defence but think one attack/defence may be enough

  Konsa is a horrible FPL pick. Never gets DC, no goal threat.

Buendia is just not good enough

But still more visible than Watkins. Is he still on the pitch?

  Especially given the early Haaland blank, well done for going for it but so hard to make any gains this season

GW22 Newcastle United (H) Draw
GW21 Everton (A) Draw
GW20 West Ham United (H) Win
