The Premier League is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Everton take on Unai Emery's Aston Villa side in an important clash at Villa Park on Saturday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes over the past year and will want to win this game.

Everton are rooted to the bottom of the Premier League standings and have struggled this season. The Toffees suffered a damaging 3-2 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table and have been inconsistent this season. The home side defeated Leicester City by a 2-1 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
