- Time: 2:00 PM UTC
- Location: Everton Stadium, Liverpool, England
Game Overview
Everton, currently 5th in the Premier League, host Aston Villa, who are struggling at 19th position. Everton enter the match with confidence from recent wins, while Villa are yet to score a goal this season and seek their first victory. The match marks Everton's second Premier League fixture at their new stadium, and the fixture has had a recent history of Villa dominance in head-to-head encounters.
Key Factors to Consider
- Everton have won their last two matches before the international break and show good form, whereas Aston Villa have lost all their initial matches without scoring, including a heavy 3-0 loss at home to Crystal Palace. Villa's attacking struggles are significant, with a rare historical failure to score in their opening three games.
- Historically, Aston Villa have dominated recent encounters with Everton, winning 11 of the last 25 matches, while Everton have won 7 and 7 ended in draws. Everton have not won any of their last 12 meetings post Villaβs return to the top flight in 2019, often failing to score against Villa at home recently.
- Current detailed injury updates are not explicitly provided in the available data, but no major absences have been reported that could drastically change either teamβs lineup.
- Referee Simon Hooper will officiate this match, known for a somewhat favorable officiating record towards Aston Villa historically, which may influence the game dynamics. Evertonβs home advantage and recent stadium change are also factors to consider.
- Everton are motivated to maintain their strong start in a new stadium and improve their league standing, while Aston Villa are under pressure to break their scoring drought and avoid becoming one of the few Premier League teams to fail to score in the first four games.
