Everton return to Goodison Park on Saturday as Sean Dyche looks to make it three straight home wins, at Aston Villa's expense.
Seamus Coleman's goal was the difference when Leeds United fell to defeat, moving the Blues out of the relegation zone making it six points out of a possible nine for the 51-year-old. Unai Emery's side are the latest visitors to L4 as Everton look to win two successive Premier League matches for just the second time this season.
The Villans are on their worst run of form since the former Villarreal manager succeeded Steven Gerrard. They led against Arsenal in last weekend's early kick-off but the Premier League leaders fought back and claimed the three points with a hint of fortune after Jorginho's shot cannoned off the bar and off the head of Emi Martinez before Gabriel Martinelli rubberstamped the win.

Ahead of the big match, we have rounded up all the details you need to know in relation to Everton vs Aston Villa.
What time does Everton vs Aston Villa kick-off?
Everton will welcome Aston Villa to Goodison Park for a 3:00pm kick-off on Saturday afternoon. Another protest march against the Everton board is planned to take place an hour before - with the planned demonstrations set to continue for the remainder of the season.
It is the former Burnley boss' fourth match in the charge of the Blues and he will be looking to keep his 100% home win record intact.
Is Everton vs Aston Villa match on TV?
The simple answer is no, in the UK at least. As the game is scheduled for a 3pm kick-off, it will not be shown on the television. The 3pm blackout has been in place since the 1960s and prevents matches from being televised in the UK.
The football blackout is the rule that no Premier League, Football League or FA Cup matches can be shown live on a Saturday between 2:45pm and 5:15pm.
Reports last year suggested the EFL would consider lifting the blackout in their TV rights sale, from 2024/25 onwards, with EFL chairman Rick Parry stating in 2021 they would remain "open-minded" about new approaches to broadcasting.
“We are almost unique in Europe now in having a blackout period," said Parry. "I’m not presuming that it (3pm blackout) goes, but equally, if we’re looking at streaming, at new technologies and new broadcasters, we will probably have to be open-minded in terms of scheduling."
How else can I follow the match?
We will be providing live coverage of proceedings from Goodison Park courtesy of our Everton reporters, Chris Beesley and Joe Thomas, including the protests set to take place prior to kick-off.
Our live match blog will be up and running in the early afternoon on the Everton section of our website as we keep you up to date on team news, with in-game updates and post-match analysis to follow.
