Everton vs Aston Villa

Aston Villa have won both of their first two Premier League games of a calendar year for the first time since 2009.

Everton have lost three successive Premier League all without scoring for the first time since doing so in their first three such matches of 2023-24. The Toffees have now failed to score in nine of their last 11 league matches.

Aston Villa have now won 10 Premier League away games against Everton, their most away to any opponent in the competition (9 v Southampton). The Villans have won four of their last five league games at Goodison Park (D1), more than their previous 19 beforehand (W3 D9 L7).

Everton are winless in their last 11 Premier League games against Aston Villa (D3 L8), having won six of their previous eight against them before this (D1 L1).

Aston Villa are unbeaten in their last five Premier League away games against Everton (W3 D2), keeping a clean sheet in each of their last three. They’ve never gone four away without conceding against the Toffees in their league history.

Only Southampton have won fewer games (1) and scored fewer goals (12) than Everton in the Premier League this season (3 wins, 15 goals). However, having lost their first four in the competition this term, the Toffees have since lost just four of their last 15 (W3 D8).

Aston Villa have lost each of their last five Premier League away games, conceding at least twice in each defeat. It’s their longest losing run on the road within a single season in the competition since losing their final seven such games of 2015-16.
