ASTON VILLA and Everton clash this weekend in the Premier League’s early kick-off in what’s sure to be an entertaining affair.
Not only are both sides in need of a win, having lost their opening games of the season last week, there’s a separate rivalry brewing.

But the visitors won’t make it easy for them.

Ben Godfrey faces a long spell on the sidelines after his leg break in the clash with Chelsea last week.
Yerry Mina is looking at some time on the treatment table too, so new centre-back signing Conor Coady could get a start straight away.
Rondon could also be recalled up top for Lampard, now that he’s served his suspension from last season.
Leon Bailey could come out of the Villa XI for Gerrard, with Emiliano Buendia looking a solid option to start from the off.
