Welcome to our live coverage of tonight's Premier League match between Aston Villa and Everton. Team news to follow...

For anyone itching to see the Villa dressing room...

Probably worth a mention that Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings looks to have been a little uncomfortable in the warm-up tonight. Let's hope whatever that issue might be resolves itself, as it was reported today that England manager Gareth Southgate will be present tonight to monitor both Mings and Jack Grealish.

It’s Everton, obviously! 106 years for Aston Villa while Everton soar above with 116.

A little stat for you to whet your appetite for tonight's match - Aston Villa have spent the longest amount of time in English top flight football second only to... Can you guess?

Everton are in a slightly healthier position in ninth place. A win tonight would see them go top of the league, though in all probability not for long.

Hosts Aston Villa have yet to win a point, so will be hoping a home crowd can boost them up to mid-table with a win tonight. A point would shift them above West Ham and Chelsea to 15th place.

So, let's look at the table and see where things stand as we go into week three...
