Late to the party.
I'm not sure if I'm being over critical of Everton. Their starting lineup is still good and they're managed by the awesome David Moyes but I worry about their depth and who they might lose in January also.
I definitely disagree that Villa have been lucky. A great goalkeeper and a great defensive record, coupled with the worst shooting efficiency in the league. They could actually have more points than they do now.
Everton have been good so far sans the QPR match. If they can be consistent it's not going to take much to finish "best of the rest."
Villa definitely have a strong defense, and great keeper, but there's absolutely nothing happening going forward. They've been outplayed in a few of their matches, if it weren't for Given they would struggle. At least they're hard to beat.
