Match Preview
Everton are back at their new stadium for the second league game to be played there, this time hosting Aston Villa in the most played fixture in English football. The 215th edition of this fixture sees Evertonians surprisingly ebullient for this early in the season, given how they’ve started the last few campaigns on poorer notes.
David Moyes mentioned that Jarrad Branthwaite would still be a few weeks from rejoining the starting lineup, and Iliman Ndiaye picked up a knock on international duty for
Senegal. However, for the first time in many years the Blues actually have options and capable back-ups that can step into the breach.
Today’s visitors Aston Villa are sitting near the bottom of the league, a place they have not been familiar with for a few years now. Squad upheaval might have caught them unprepared, but they have too much quality to continue to flounder for too long under Unai Emery.

Last Meeting
Everton have a most miserable recent record at home against Villa, failing to even score against them in the last four games and the last time we beat them at Goodison Park was in November 2015. Last season the Blues lost at home 0-1 in mid-January soon after David Moyes took over from Sean Dyche.
