Everton travel to Aston Villa for their first away test of the new Premier League season, having dominated the game last week against Fulham and doing everything else but score in that home defeat. The more things change the more they stay the same, it feels like.
The Blues picked up one win, five draws and three losses away from home after Sean Dyche took on the job at Goodison Park last season and the game against Unai Emery’s side is a solid test against a deeper squad that will be playing in Europe this season.

Everton
Aston Villa
The Blues last trip to Villa Park was a 2-1 loss with the only Blues goal scored by Lucas Digne, an own goal that is as the Frenchman had already completed his switch to Villa by then. Villa have owned the Blues for some time now, with Everton winless in the last eight games against them, with two draws and six losses.
