Five points separates these two sides in the Premier League standings, and Everton come in as slight favourites to make it three wins on the bounce. The hosts are priced at 2.40 to take all three points, while the visitors are available to back at 3.0.

• Aston Villa lost nine of their 19 away games last season, finishing with a -7 goal difference on the road, compared to a +14 goal difference at Villa Park.

• Everton’s start to the season has them sitting in 5th, with six points.

• The most successful season for Grealish was the 20/21 campaign at Aston Villa, where he accrued 10 assists in 26 league appearances.

🔵 The Toffees Revitalised

Seemingly gone are the dark days at the bottom of the league for Everton - David Moyes has brought a renewed sense of hope around Merseyside, and a positive transfer window has Everton looking like a strong side this season.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has been a key figure in the centre of the park since arriving from Chelsea, and he scored his first Everton goal last time out against Wolves. Iliman N’Diaye has also adapted seamlessly since shifting over to the right-wing to accommodate Grealish.

Thierno Barry is still yet to fully announce himself since arriving from Villarreal, but Everton do look a much more succinct side in the final third, addressing some of the key issues they had under Sean Dyche. The Toffees have picked up six points from their last two games, and really do look like a confident side.

🟣 Villa Looking to Break Their Duck

Harvey Elliott and Jadon Sancho have been drafted in to try and provide some attacking impotence and reverse Villa’s poor fortune in the final third, but it’s uncertain whether they will be able to hit the ground running, given their lack of gametime. Sancho’s last appearance came in the Conference League final last season, while Elliott has played just eight minutes for Liverpool this term.

Amadou Onana and Boubacar Kamara didn’t feature during the international break, and are both expected to be out for a few more weeks after the pair were withdrawn early against Brentford in gameweek two. That is another massive blow for Unai Emery to contend with, especially given how Villa looked vulnerable without a holding midfielder against Crystal Palace. The visitors racked up four big chances worth 2.65xG.

The situation remains bleak for Aston Villa, and it’s not looking likely that they will be able to reverse their fortunes at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Aston Villa did the double over Everton last season, winning 1-0 at Goodison Park, and 3-2 in the reverse. In fact, Everton have won just one of their last 10am 0 meetings against Villa, losing seven of those matches.
