Premier League LIVE: Southampton v Manchester United & seven other matches – live text & radio commentary

  • Since returning to the Premier League in 2019, Aston Villa are unbeaten in all 10 league games against Everton (7 wins, 3 draws), 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 (G1), while winning three of their previous four visits to Villa Park (G1).

  • After a run of 15 consecutive home league victories from March to December 2023, Aston Villa have won just four of their last 12 Premier League games at Villa Park since then (D4 L4), losing their only such match this season 0–2 to Arsenal. Only in 2013–14 have the Villans lost their first two home games of a Premier League campaign.

  • Everton are, along with Southampton, one of only two teams to have lost 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 streak from the start of a league campaign.

  • Everton have lost eight of their last 10 Premier League games immediately following an international break (W1 D1), including all four such games last season. Aston Villa, meanwhile, have won each of their last five league games immediately following an international break.

  • Aston Villa have pressed less in the final third (103) than any other team 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 all four of their Premier League games. The Toffees have not lost five games in a row in the league since October 2005, under David Moyes (run of six).

  • Everton have scored just once in their last five Premier League away games against Aston Villa, coming from 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 starting just three Premier League games in his career, Jhon Durán has scored seven goals in the competition, six of which as a substitute. His average of 96 minutes per goal is the best of any Aston Villa player to have scored 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 them targeted, also a league record. The striker has scored (5) or assisted (2) seven of the Toffees’ last 12 league goals.
