Premier League All competitions All competitions All competitions Since their return to the Premier League in 2019, Aston Villa have remained unbeaten in all 10 of their league meetings with Everton (W7 D3), keeping seven clean sheets and conceding just three goals in that run. Everton have lost four of their last five Premier League away games against Aston Villa (D1), having won three of their previous four such visits to Villa Park before this (L1). Following a run of 15 successive home league wins from March to December 2023, Aston Villa have since won just four of their last 12 Premier League games at Villa Park (D4 L4), losing their only such match this season 0-2 to Arsenal. Only in 2013-14 have the Villans lost both of their first two home matches of a Premier League campaign. Everton, along with Southampton, are one of two sides to lose all three of their Premier League games so far this season. Only in 1926-27 (5) and 1958-59 (6) have the Toffees ever had a longer losing run from the beginning of a league campaign. Everton have lost eight of their last 10 Premier League games that have immediately followed an international break (W1 D1), including all four such matches last season. Aston Villa, meanwhile, have won each of their last five league matches when immediately following an international break. Aston Villa have made fewer pressures in the final third (103) than any other side in the Premier League so far this season. They are also bottom of the division for high turnovers (12), and joint-lowest for pressed sequences (24). Everton have lost each of their last four Premier League games; not since October 2005 under David Moyes have the Toffees lost five in a row in the competition (run of 6). Everton have only scored once in their last five Premier League away games against Aston Villa, with that coming via a Lucas Digne own goal in August 2022. The last Toffees player to score a league goal at Villa Park was Romelu Lukaku in March 2016. Despite only starting three Premier League games in his career, Jhon Durán has scored seven goals in the competition, with six of these coming as a substitute. His average of 96 minutes-per-goal is the best of any Aston Villa player to score 3+ times for the club in the Premier League. Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin has made 97 off-the-ball runs in the Premier League this season, the most of any player, with 44 of these being targeted, also a league-high. The striker has either scored (5) or assisted (2) seven of the Toffees’ last 12 league goals. © 2024 BBC. The BBC is not responsible for the content of external sites.
