RESULT:


FULL TIME! ASTON VILLA 0-1 EVERTON

A brilliant win for David Moyes and Everton who despite missing several first-team players have come to Villa Park and took all three points.

Villa's 11 game winning run at home is ended and they miss the chance to leapfrog Man City and close the gap on Arsenal.


Buendía flashes a header past Pickford and the goal and that could just be that.


James Garner picks up the Sky Sports man of the match award and it's fully deserved.

With England manager Thomas Tuchel watching and the former Manchester United midfielder out of contract at the end of the season, it could be a very interesting summer for him.


Four minutes of added time left for Villa to salvage something.

Jack Grealish wins a foul and is closing in on a stunning win at his old stomping ground.


Villa have lost just one Premier League game at Villa Park since August 2024.

They have four minutes plus added time to keep that record alive.


Barry comes off for Beto.

Will his goal be all the difference here? Everton are inching their way to a memorable win.


Everton are containing Villa very well here.

It might take something special for them to rescue a result here.


WHAT A SAVE!

Rogers finally finds his shooting boots and hits a speculative effort towards the top corner.

Pickford does exceptionally well to tip it over the bar.

Villa piling on the pressure now.


Rogers blasts over again from a good shooting position.

It's not been his or Villa's day so far.

A huge 20 minutes left.


GOAL FOR EVERTON!

It's got even better to the Toffees who have taken a shock lead just before the hour mark.

Pau Torres loses the ball to Dwight McNeill, whose shot is spilled by Emi Martínez to the feet of Thierno Barry.

The young forward brilliantly clips the ball over the keeper and past the despairing dive of a defender.


Slow start to the second half.

Everton have been impressive here especially when you consider they're missing multiple starters.


AND WE'RE BACK!

Second half kicks off.

Will we finally see today's first goal in the next 45 minutes? It feels likely.


That's three halves of Premier League football today and we've yet to see a goal.

In fairness, Villa-Everton is a massive improvement on the drab draw between Wolves and Newcastle.


HALF TIME!

Goalless but a thrilling 45 minutes at Villa Park.


Three minutes of added time go up on the board.


OFF THE BAR!

Villa finishing the half the stronger and now it's their turn to hit the woodwork.

Guessand sees his header bounce off the top of the bar and out for a goal kick.


CLOSE FOR ROGERS!

O'Brien is involved at the other end right away, brilliantly blocking Rogers shot from inside the box.

Excellent work down the line from Ian Maatsen to fashion a cross.

Rogers then forces Pickford into a save from the resulting corner.


GOAL RULED OUT FOR EVERTON!

Jake O'Brien heads in after a well-worked short corner but the flag goes up right away.

Harrison Armstrong was offside and is adjudged to have impacted the play. A contentious call.


CHANCE!

Brilliant ball from Youri Tielemans and run from Guessand almost leads to a goal for the Ivorian, but Vitaliy Mykolenko just gets across to deny him a clean strike on the ball.


McNeill is the first player booke for pulling back Buendía after the Argentine gives him the slip again.


Grealish gets a shot away at the back post after a corner from the other side comes his way.

The on-loan star gets excellent contact to the ball but there is too many bodies in the way.


The Villa skipper will have to come off and is set to be replaced by Evann Guessand.

The Ivorian winger is just back from Africa Cup of Nations duty and will change the dynamic of the attack here.


John McGinn is down getting treatment on his knee.

With Boubacar Kamara and Amadou Onana, this is the last thing Unai Emery needs.


Emi Buendía gets away from Dwight McNeill and instead of shooting, lays the ball off to Morgan Rogers, who blasts over Jordan Pickford's bar.

That's a real chance for a player bang in form.


Jack Grealish gets his first touch of the ball and receives heavy booing from the home crowd.

He's somewhat of a pantomime villain with there little doubt the former captain is still a massive fan of the club.


OFF THE POST!

Everton almost take the lead inside 20 seconds.

One long ball goes through the Villa defence and Merlin Röhl beats Emi Martínez but sees his shot bounce off the post.

What a start that would have been.


KICK OFF!

Underway at Villa Park.


Less than five minutes to go until kick off at Villa Park.

With so many Everton players out, anything but another win for the home side would be a major surprise.


FULL TIME! WOVLES 0-0 NEWCASTLE

Newcastle miss the chance to move level on points with Manchester United in fifth and they can have no complaints.

It took them 85 minutes to get a shot on target, which tells you a lot about their lack of quality and Wolves' defensive efforts.

It's now four league games unbeaten for Rob Edwards' side, who remain 14 points adrift of safety but have had a very positive start to 2026.


HUGE CHANCE!

And probably the last one.

Trippier launches the ball into the box and it comes to Bruno Guimarães but the Newcastle captain blasts over from inside the box.


Two Wolves' corners come to nothing but the home fans are roaring their team on here.

Another impressive performance from Edwards' men.


Six minutes of added time goes up on the board.

Can someone steal this?


Botman is booked for taking down Rodrigo Gomes as he looked to break through the Newcastle defence.


Newcastle finally get a shot on target and it almost leads to the opener with just over five minutes left.

Joelinton gets a head to the ball after it pops around the box but Sá is there to claim it.

Big chance.


This is anyone's game with Wolves perhaps sensing a crucial three points could be here to take.

Jhon Arias is on now too.


Trippier comes closest to breaking the deadlock but his free-kick goes just wide of José Sá's post.

10 minutes to go.


Barnes almost picks out Wissa at the back post but his ball across the box has just too much pace on it.

A real lack of quality from Newcastle in the final third today.


Having not had a shot on target approaching the 70 minute mark, Howe makes a triple change.

Off go Tonali, Woltemade and Anthony Gordon and on come Lewis Miley, Yoane Wissa and Anthony Elanga.

Can one of them make the difference?


And here's Villa, who are looking to continue their remarkable season and move up to second.


Teams are in for our later kick off.

Here's how a depleted Everton line up.


Jørgen Strand Larsen is on for Tolu.

The Norwegian striker came close to a move to the Magpies over the summer. Could he come back to haunt them here?


Tchatchoua does very well to deny Joelinton from close range.

The Brazilian was about to get a clean head to Trippier's cross.


Sandro Tonali goes into the book for stopping a Wolves counter-attack.

Frustrating afternoon so far for the Italian and his teammates.

How long before Eddie Howe makes changes?


This is the third time Newcastle have failed to have a shot on target in the first half of a Premier League game this season.

They lost the previous two. Will it happen again?


Kieran Trippier needed treatment for a cut on his head so it's been a slow start.


SECOND HALF UNDERWAY!

Will we get a goal in this half?


HALF TIME!

Goalless at the break. One for the purists so far.


Just the one shot on target so far here to rubberstamp the previous post.


Tough watch for a neutral but Wolves will be very happy with how this is going.

They look a different side to the one that stunk up the league for so long this season. Credit to Rob Edwards.


Few clear-cut chances so far.

Hwang Hee-Chan looks to tee up Tolu Arokodare but Sven Botman is in the way.

First goal here could be crucial.


After 20 minutes, Newcastle will be well aware they're in a proper contest here.


Nick Woltemade has the first two chances for Newcastle, both coming via his head.

The first comes to nothing but the second is a bit closer, ending up just going over the bar.


Newcastle have had more of the ball in the opening 10 minutes as you'd expect but there's a bit of confidence about Wolves after a good run of results.

Jackson Tchatchoua's cross into the box is blocked after some neat build up play.


Good atmosphere for this one with the home fans clearly not fully giving up hope of the most remarkable great escape.


KICK OFF!

And we're off at Molineux.


Just the one change from Rob Edwards with André starting in midfield.

Jhon Arias drops out.


Eddie Howe makes four changes from midweek with Kieran Trippier, Sandro Tonali, Harvey Barnes and Nick Woltemade all coming in.


They will be up against it today facing a Magpies side who can move into fifth spot with a win by more than one goal.

The midweek loss to Man City in the League Cup snapped a four-game winning run but a fourth consecutive league win would go a long way to easing the pain.

Kick off is in just over 20 minutes.


First up, though, is Wolves and Newcastle's clash at Molineux.

Things have picked up for the basement club in recent weeks under Rob Edwards having finally won their first league game of the season against West Ham.

They are still a mammoth 15 points adrift of safety and likely need to win half of their remaining games to have a chance of survival.


After results went their way yesterday, Aston Villa have the chance to move into second place above Manchester City and just four points off leaders Arsenal.

Having won their last eight league games at Villa Park, they will be confident of doing just that against a depleted Everton side.

The Toffees' hopes of a result may rest on Jack Grealish, who is likely to get an interesting reception on his latest return to his boyhood club.
