The Aston Villa v Everton betting odds show how things are changing. Villa are barely favourites for this Premier League match despite home advantage – a sign of the apparent unease as the transfer window closes and no new manager appears.

AstonVilla: 17/10 with Stan James, Everton: 15/8 with Ladbrokes, Draw: 23/10 with Betfred
Battered by Newcastle and robbed of European adventure by Rapid Vienna, Aston Villa are a bit of a mess all of a sudden.Gabriel Agbonlahor should be fit despite being subbed on Thursday, Carlos Cuellar and James Collins the same. The first voice of dissent though, has come from Stilian Petrov, who wants to see some new arrivals of some kinds. Coach Kevin MacDonald has always remained ambivalent about taking the manager’s job. His first task is to try and encourage his players to stop committing basic defensive errors.
Everton have just one point from their opening two games though. Phil Neville, Joseph Yobo and Yakubu could all miss this. Everton love picking teams off, while Villa may be fearful of trying too much in their current state of nerves. It’s more than a decade since Everton went through their opening three leagues games without a victory.
