Aston Villa number Everton in Saturday's tea-time Premier League fight
Everton and Aston Villa pleasant Everton to Villa Park on Saturday afternoon for their return to Premier League activity.
The Antagonists have won two of their first three Premier League games, including a disastrous 3-2 defeat at home to Bournemouth that saw them take the lead with less than five minutes to go. They does now hope to put pressure on a Toffees area that has lost all three of their games this year.
But, Villa are in a serious injury question ahead of Saturday's game because Ollie Watkins was withdrawn from the England club next month.
Does Ollie Watkins ' fitness against Everton be sufficient for Aston Villa's scorer?
Watkins was originally selected for Lee Carsley's second England game against the Republic of Ireland and Finland in the Nations League, but he was later withdrawn from St George's Park after being subjected to a three-lion team analysis.
Watkins was reportedly suffering from an" continuing matter" that would be looked at at his club, according to the FA speech.
No more update has been given on the nature of Watkins ' damage or whether or not he will be available to experience Everton, meaning followers will need to wait for Unai Emery's pre-match press event on Friday to find out what is going on.
The trust will be that Watkins ' Three Lions retreat was a cautious measure and that the remainder afforded to him over the past month will be a welcome relief for a player who returned to pre-season later following his escapades with England at Euro 2024 this summer.
Watkins is yet to score or full 90 minutes this year, having been substituted just after the hour tag in all three of Villa's Premier League games so far this year.
