Former England team-mates Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard clash at Villa Park this weekend as Everton head to the West Midlands.

Gerrard and Lampard have enjoyed distinguished careers in the Premier League as leading midfield stars in England’s top flight, but their current focus is making an impact as managers.

There will be breaks in style in this clash, with Lampard’s pragmatic approach that secured Everton Premier League status last season coupled with Gerrard’s ambitions to push Villa into European competition.

However, both bosses endured a miserable start to the 2022/23 season as Villa lost 2-0 at Bournemouth in the opening weekend and Everton were ousted by Chelsea at Goodison Park.

Aston Villa vs Everton live updates, highlights

40 minutes to KO: Gerrard had challenged Mings to prove he deserved a place in the Villa team, having first stripped him of the captaincy and then left him out altogether. Well, it seems the England international has responded well.

“He trained extremely well this week,” Gerrard told BT Sport. “Having his profile and his first contacts today will hopefully be very important for us.”

1 hr 20 mins to KO: Both teams started the season with defeats: Everton were ousted at home by Chelsea while Villa were beaten at Bournemouth. Gerrard’s men attempted 13 shots from open play on the south coast, a number surpassed only by Tottenham Hotspur (15) and Newcastle United (17) last week. That might suggest they deserved better until you look at their expected goals from the open game, which was just 0.58. That tells you they need to create some better openings if they want to find a way past Everton today.

1 hr 40 mins to KO: Everton are set to launch their new third kit today (let’s just say it’s polarizing opinion) and we might see some new faces in Toffees attire. Conor Coady and Amadou Onana could make their debuts against Villa and there is particular excitement with the latter. Belgium head coach Roberto Martinez told Sky Sports he is “probably one of the most talented young players [at 20 years old] in European football”.
