Team news and rosters
A loss at the start of the new season wasn’t quite the grade Steven Gerrard would have envisioned for his Villa side, but they are now heading home to make their own patch a fearsome fortress this season – with their squad arguably showing the depth of the dark horse to help them go far.
Whether Tyrone Mings is back in the squad after being stripped of his captaincy last season remains to be seen, but the England defender – a breakaway for Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions – will certainly be hoping to find minutes sooner rather than later.
Estimated Aston Villa starting XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Carlos, Digne; McGinn, Kamara, Ramsey; Buendia, Watkins, Coutinho.
An opening-day defeat against Chelsea was likely expected for Everton and former boss Frank Lampard – but he is hoping to pick up a result against old international team-mate Gerrard when his side travel to Villa Park on Saturday.
The Toffees have added more recruits to their defence, with England defender Conor Coady loaned out from Wolves to cement his place on the plane to Qatar, while the capture of Lille’s Amadou Onana represents something of a coup for the club prevent further relegation battle.
Expected Everton starting XI: Pickford; Holgate, Coady, Tarkowski; Patterson, Doucoure, Iwobi, Mykolenko; Gordon, Rondon, McNeil.
