2 min The second corner is cleared.

2 min The corner is taken short to McGinn on the edge of the area. He beats Gueye and floats a chip that hits Tarkowski and goes behind for another corner.

1 min Villa win a corner after 12 seconds, with Digne’s shot deflected behind by Garner.

1 min Peep peep! Villa kick off from right to left as we watch.

“There’s taking each game as it comes and there’s Wolves and Sheffield United up next for Everton,” says Gary Naylor. “I hope DCL is not the difference between a 2-1 defeat and a 2-0 defeat today, at a cost of three weeks out. PS I’m relatively optimistic as Evertonians go.”

And we’ll be hearing from Mary Waltz shortly.

Both teams make one change from last weekend. Pau Torres replaces Tyrone Mings – who is probably out for the season – in the Villa defence. He’ll be up against Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who is in for Neal Maupay.

Referee Anthony Taylor.

Aston Villa v Everton is the most played fixture in English football 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.

Kick off 2pm.
