Minute-by-minute updates on the action at Villa Park Any comments? Feel free to email Rob
Aston Villa v Everton is the most played fixture in English history, and Everton would very much like to keep it that way. Both teams had a false start last weekend and would literally love nothing more than to literally get their first point(s) of the season today. While it was no great surprise that Villa were beaten by Newcastle, few people envisaged a 5-1 shellacking. Everton put a perverse new spin on an old problem by blowing up the xG computer in their 1-0 defeat at home to Fulham.
There’s nothing to worry about for Villa, who have made a number of shrewd signings and could again upset the Big Seven, or BS for short. There’s always something to worry about at Everton, though Sean Dyche handles Kipling’s impostors better than most and feels like the perfect man for such an arduous job. While he’s in charge, Everton should keep on meeting Villa twice a season.
