Everton have started off brilliantly, but Rafa Benítez faces a major test to maintain the good times against Aston Villa without the services of Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Richarlison will likely have to take over in his absence. Dean Smith’s side were comfortably beaten against Chelsea last week, but with Emiliano Martínez expected between the sticks, Villa has a better chance of continuing an impressive four-game unbeaten streak against Everton since returning to the Premier League.
