Is Aston Villa vs Everton on TV tonight? Kick-off time, channel and how to watch Premier League fixture

Everton travel to Aston Villa in the Premier League this evening aiming to build on their good start to the season under Rafael Benitez.

The Toffees came from behind to win for the second time at Goodison Park this season as they defeated Burnley 3-1 on Monday to move to 10 points in the table.

Demarai Gray scored for the third Premier League match in a row while Andros Townsend added his first for the club from distance to further improve Benitez’s start in charge.

Villa were left frustrated after a promising performance at Chelsea resulted in a 3-0 defeat last weekend. Dean Smith’s side have won all of their four points at home so far, and will be looking to kick-start their campaign against the side that finished one place above them in the table last season.
