Everton once again find themselves in the Premier League's bottom three after suffering their first home defeat of the Sean Dyche era as they went down 2-0 to Aston Villa on Saturday afternoon.
A tight first half that Everton edged was met by two goals from Unai Emery's side in the second period. Ollie Watkins gave Villa the lead from the penalty spot before substitute Emi Buendia sealed their victory.
The Blues will look to bounce back on Wednesday they face a testing trip to Premier League leaders Arsenal, who they did beat 1-0 in Dyche's first game in charge of the club earlier this month at Goodison Park.
