"Last seen heading into September's fortnight interval with an action-packed 3-2 victory away at Wolves, David Moyes' men have received a string of plaudits over the past few weeks. Including an eye-catching 2-0 win at home against Brighton last month, the former West Ham boss has seen his squad win all of their previous three appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 7-2."
"Yet to make a single appearance since opening up the new campaign, Everton are once again sweating over the fitness of England international Jarrad Branthwaite this weekend. Former Rangers youngster Nathan Patterson also remains on the sidelines. Making an immediate impact after completing a summer loan switch from Manchester City, former Aston Villa skipper Jack Grealish will play a leading role here. Likewise, opening his Premier League account against Wolves prior to September's fortnight break, fellow summer recruit Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will start in the middle of the park."
Everton have recovered strongly after an opening-day loss, winning three consecutive matches across all competitions by an aggregate 7-2, including a 3-2 away win at Wolves and a 2-0 home win over Brighton. Injuries persist with Jarrad Branthwaite sidelined and Nathan Patterson unavailable. Jack Grealish, on loan from Manchester City and a former Villa captain, has made an immediate impact and is expected to play a leading role. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored against Wolves and will start in midfield. Aston Villa began the season poorly, suffered a 3-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace, and are coping with lingering disappointment after missing Champions League qualification.
