The international break is finally over and Everton are preparing for Premier League action once again. David Moyes' buoyant Blues host Aston Villa in the second official match at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday.
The Toffees will be looking to build on two consecutive Premier League victories after wins over Brighton & Hove Albion and Wolves in their last two outings.
Meanwhile, Unai Emery's side have suffered a difficult start to the season, sitting second bottom of the table following two defeats and one draw in their first three matches.
Blues boss Moyes will host his usual press conference from Finch Farm ahead of the match and the ECHO will be there to see what he's got to say.
Jarrad Branthwaite's fitness will certainly be on the agenda, with the centre-back sidelined since August due to a thigh injury.
It will also give Moyes the first chance to speak publicly about new signing Merlin Rohl. The Germany Under-21 starlet joined the Blues on deadline day and will provide competition in the centre of the park.
Good afternoon!
