Tim Howard has often been criticized in the first month of league play for his poor form. This absence of quality has been surprising since he came off of a fantastic World Cup campaign. This week, he'll rediscover that form that was talked about all summer.

Grealish is a young talented Irish teen who has constantly come on for Aston Villa in the past month of play. It's only a matter of time before he breaks through -- and just look at that hair. He could be destined for greatness, and it will start this game.

3. Aston Villa Won't Concede

Aston Villa were heartbroken last week when Manchester City finally punched through their defense in the 80th minute. Expect them to chase down dangerous players quickly and be a brick wall against Everton.

2. Benteke Will Score

Being out since last spring, Benteke has been itching to get back onto the pitch after he dominated for Aston Villa in their last campaign. His achilles is fine, and he will find the back of the net at least once during their match vs. Everton.

Brad Guzan has had a great year so far and performed very well against Manchester City. The two goals that got by him were garbage-time goals and were unstoppable, seeing as though his defense let Toure and Aguero tee up at the box. His form will continue, and he'll get Man of the Match honors against his American counterpart, Tim Howard.
