Everton are set to take on Aston Villa in Saturday\u2019s early Premier League kick-off.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the game, Duncan Ferguson would hold Everton\u2019s pre-match press conference.<\/p>\n

Ferguson is currently the Toffees\u2019 caretaker manager following the dismissal of Rafa Benitez last weekend after a 2-1 loss to Norwich.<\/p>\n

When speaking<\/a> to the press on Friday, Ferguson would be asked about the possibility of becoming Everton\u2019s permanent manager and stated:<\/p>\n

\u201cI think maybe down the line, one day I always dream about it. Of course I\u2019ve not quite got that experience. The club will go through a process identifying a new manager and then bring him in.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou never know if football do you? What happens down the line will be down to the club. We\u2019re always looking for the best managers in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Duncan Ferguson is currently the favourite to take the job on a permanent basis, being priced at 7\/4<\/a> with Betfair.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Everton vs Aston Villa<\/h2>\n

Elsewhere in his press conference<\/a>, Ferguson would speak about the Villa game.<\/p>\n

The Toffees have won just one of their last 13 Premier League matches. This has seen the Merseysiders move down to 16th<\/sup> in the league and to within six points of the relegation zone.<\/p>\n

Ferguson, though, does not believe his side are truly in a fight to stay up right now: \u201cI don\u2019t see it quite like that.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if we don\u2019t improve quickly, things might not be too good for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for the Villa game, Ferguson, when quizzed on team selection, appeared to suggest we would see some changes this weekend:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re going on a losing run we\u2019ve been on, you\u2019ve got to make changes.\u201d<\/p>\n
