Aston Villa made it four points from a possible six from European chasing Everton in the space of two weeks.<\/p>\n
Dean Smith had to make do without striker Ollie Watkins after his sending off in the defeat against Manchester United<\/a> at the weekend. Keinan Davis came in for the former Brentford man. All eyes were on the return of Jack Grealish who was named amongst the substitutes.<\/p>\n I did question if we would miss the press from Watkins presence but despite, what was a pretty dull encounter, Villa\u2019s early press was impressive, with Ross Barkley leading by example when he forced Everton to give away an early corner. The resulting corner fell to Bertrand Traore but his shot was blocked.<\/p>\n Seamus Coleman then created a chance, who was finding plenty of space down the right but Dominic Calvert-Lewin was unable to test Emi Martinez.<\/p>\n Villa probably should have taken the lead through Tyrone Mings. Matt Targett\u2019s cross was headed over the bar by Luca Digne and from the resulting corner, Mings headed wide when he probably should have scored.<\/p>\nBore-draw<\/h3>\n
