Sunday’s football tips: Villa defender Cash 29/20 for over 1.5 fouls up against Everton ace Grealish

Aston Villa are flying right now and they have the chance to keep their surprise Premier League title bid on track when Everton come calling today.

Unai Emery's men dumped Spurs out of the FA Cup last weekend and have now won 13 of their last 15 matches.

They now host a Toffees side who have gone off the boil, with just one win in their last seven, so Villa will be confident of banking another three points.

Aston Villa vs Everton top betting tips

Everton looked a huge threat earlier in the season when they had Iliman Ndiaye, Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall playing behind a lone striker.

So it's no surprise that results have been poor since Dewsbury-Hall picked up an injury and Ndiaye headed for the Africa Cup of Nations with midfielder Idrissa Gueye.

Grealish has also missed a couple of games with illness and suspension but he's back for this one and that's a boost for David Moyes.

The winger always draws a lot of fouls and Matty Cash should be handed the task of keeping him quiet. BetMGM are offering 29/20 on the Villa right-back committing over 1.5 fouls and that looks a good bet.

Villa are in such good form that they should get the job done with home advantage. They're hot favourites at 7/10 but adding on under 4.5 goals boosts the odds to evens at Betway.

Senegal vs Morocco

The Africa Cup of Nations comes to a climax tonight and hosts Morocco will be hoping a partisan crowd can get them over the line against Senegal.

The omens aren't good for a great spectacle, with only two of the last 10 AFCON showpieces seeing over one goal.

Both semi finals were also dull, with just one goal across the two games, so it's probably best betting on another snorefest.

Under 2.5 goals only pays 10/21 at Unibet but going for under 1.5 goals boosts the odds to 11/8 with BetMGM.

Both semi-finals were level at the break so the half-time draw also looks good at 19/20 with 888Sport while backing most goals to come in the second half pays 13/10 at the same firm.

For a long-odds punt, combining cards for Idrissa Gueye and Noussair Mazraoui pays 14/1 at Bet365.

Auchinleck Talbot vs Celtic

There's a David v Goliath tie in the Scottish Cup fourth round today as Celtic head to Ayrshire to take on Auchinleck Talbot.

Had this tie been played at the West of Scotland Premier League side's Beechwood Park then a shock would have been far more likely.

But safety concerns have forced the minnows to switch the game to Kilmarnock's Rugby Park and that should make it a bit more comfortable for the Hoops.

It's the second time in a week Martin O'Neill's side have played on a plastic pitch and they were poor in midweek as they ground out a lucky 1-0 win at Falkirk.

Celtic still desperately need some reinforcements and it will be interesting to see how strong a team O'Neill picks for this one with huge games against Bologna and Hearts looming.

I'd imagine he'll make a few changes so under 4.5 goals looks good at 33/20 with BetMGM as the Hoops don't have a lot of quality in reserve at the moment.

Talbot will try to knock the Hoops out of their stride so there could be some some value in backing them at -1 in the card handicap, which pays 21/20 at Bet365.
