World enews: Aston Villa vs Everton live stream: How to watch Premier League fixture online and on TV tonight

Aston Villa host an in-form Everton side in the Premier League tonight, as Rafael Benitez looks to continue his unbeaten start in charge.

Everton moved to 10 points from their opening four matches after they came from behind to beat Burnley 3-1 at Goodison Park on Saturday, with goals from Michael Keane, Andros Townsend and a third in three games from Demarai Gray.

Dean Smith’s Villa impressed at Stamford Bridge and were largely the better team against the European champions, but were punished for missing several first-half chances as a ruthless Chelsea side secured a 3-0 win.

Everton and Villa finished next to each other in 10th and 11th in the table last season but will be hoping improve upon those positions this campaign.
