With Chelsea looking to capitalize on Villa’s European woes and hand Unai Emery’s team a third consecutive away defeat, it seemed challenging for the Lions, especially following a 3-0 loss to Liverpool.

What to remember – Aston Villa vs. Everton

Aston Villa has witnessed its fair share of knockout surprises at Villa Park, with the memorable FA Cup upset against Stevenage in January. However, it’s challenging to foresee a positive outcome for the visiting team in Wednesday’s match.

Over the past six months, Unai Emery’s squad has established a formidable record at their home ground. Even with both teams likely to feature numerous changes, the Lions are expected to comfortably advance to the next stage of the competition.
