Aston Villa and Everton will be looking to pick up their first points of the 2023/24 season when they meet at Villa Park on Sunday.

Unai Emery’s troops were thrashed 5-1 by Newcastle United in their opening fixture, while the Toffees racked up 2.73 expected goals (xG) against Fulham but failed to score, losing 1-0.

Kick-off is at 14:00 BST.

The hosts make one change from Gameweek 1, with Pau Torres coming in for the injured Tyrone Mings, who is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a serious knee injury.

That means Moussa Diaby and Ollie Watkins continue up front, with Leon Bailey once again preferred to Youri Tielemans on the right.

As for Everton, they also make one alteration.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is fit to lead the line after completing 90 minutes in a midweek friendly, so Neal Maupay drops to the bench, having fluffed two big chances against Fulham.

GAMEWEEK 2 LINE-UPS

Aston Villa XI: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, Bailey, Kamara, Luiz, McGinn, Diaby, Watkins

Subs: Olsen, Marschall, Carlos, Chambers, Tielemans, Coutinho, Traore, Archer, Duran

Everton XI: Pickford, Patterson, Keane, Tarkowski, Young, Garner, Doucoure, Gueye, Onana, Iwobi, Calvert-Lewin

Subs: Virginia, Godfrey, Mykolenko, Branthwaite, Onyango, Cannon, Maupay, Danjuma, Dobbin

  Will they keep playing 3 at the back or is this due to lack of midfielders?

This is such classic Watkins. Averaging five points a game but feels incredibly underwhelming to own.

  Also getting 90 minutes every week was one of his primary appeals so this particularly dents him.

    I think the score enabled Villa to rotate.
    
    Every club in Europe, bar Man City have big squads.
    
    Loads of injuries too.

Personally hoping that Sterling has great game without any attacking returns. 2% ownership with dreamy fixtures. Luton(H), Nottm Forest(H), Bournemouth(A)

Mock him as an FPL asset if you dare, I keep all receipts.

      Well I have no Chilwell, Estu, Mitoma, Mbeumo and I have Salah (prefer Dias or Szob), Bruno, JP probably needs to be dealt with, etc. Honestly I can see myself doing anything from WCing to rolling FT this week but a Chilwell haul again will really kick me this week

    No, I have Enciso first sub. Been desperate for him not to come on all game, four subs done, the fifth about to come on and they swap the sub.
    
    Same last season I had 12 points on the bench and Pep brother ght Stones on in the 97th minute for ten seconds.
    
    It's not for me this game, it will be something else next week.

    Course I did. He was always going to be 5th sub.
    
    The yellow card after 30 seconds of coming on and the fact that the 5th sub was seconds from coming on, is just taking the piss.
    
    This is every single week. I am done with it.
