Aston Villa welcome Everton to Villa Park on Saturday afternoon with both teams looking to put their first points on the board for the 2022-23 Premier League season. Villa are aiming to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Bournemouth on opening weekend, while the Blues suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Chelsea at home.
The narrative, of course, centres around the collision of two managers who developed a deep rivalry as players - Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard - and bragging rights are certainly at stake in the battle of wits.
