Premier League 2019-20: Everton Predicted Lineup v Aston Villa, injury news, suspension list and more

An undefeated Everton travels to Birmingham later today to take on Aston Villa at the Villa Park in the first match of Match day 3 of the 2019-20 Premier League season.

Fair to say from what we've seen so far, Aston Villa have found it hard to cope with the sudden change in quality and pace among their opponents. Moreover, their extensive recruitment in the summer transfer window seems to have backfired on them so far, as the players may need some more time to gel with one another.

Dean Smith will be hoping to finally get his first point in the Premier League after losing both of his matches, against Tottenham and Bournemouth respectively.

Big things are being expected of the Toffees this season after yet another impressive piece of transfer business. Marco Silva's side is one amongst the 11 undefeated teams in the Premier League thus far.

The Toffees will therefore, be hoping to continue their unbeaten streak against an out-of-sorts Villa outfit.
