History of the Everton v Aston Villa fixture

Aston Villa face a trip to Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday afternoon, hoping to improve upon an average previous return from this fixture. Of the 100 games played, Villans have recorded 27 wins, and Everton have come away with 49 victories.

The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2008, where the two teams cancelled each other out in an enthralling 2 - 2 draw in a Premier League match.
