    • 1' We are off and underway at Villa Park!
    • 14:57 The two teams make their way out onto the pitch at Villa Park. And what a lovely playing surface it is.
    • 14:55 No teams have met more in the top flight than these two clubs.
    • 14:50 The last two meetings have ended as 2-2 draws with Everton’s first goals being scored by Leon Osman and second goals being scored by Leighton Baines form the penalty spot.
    • 14:45 McLeish has overseen four straight league home defeats but feels his side have been unfortunate in several games, being made to pay for each mistake they make.
    • 14:40 STAT: Tim Cahill has scored six goals against Aston Villa, more than versus any other opponent in the Premier League.
    • 14:35 STAT: Aston Villa have failed to score in six of their last nine Premier League games.
    • 14:30 David Moyes on Gibson: "I hope that we are getting a really hungry player and someone who is determined to show what he is capable of and what he can do. I can see there is a toughness about him, and I can see there is a hunger, and it is up to him to try and get into the Irish squad for the Euros. It is a big six months for him."
    • 14:25 Alex McLeish on loan signing Keane: "In terms of the impact Robbie will have, he will have a great effect. His experience and knowledge in the dressing room should be worth its weight in gold. In my playing career, bringing players into a club of that ilk was a case of not only looking for individuals to do well but looking for others to be inspired. Hopefully Robbie can push others to play their best football."
    • 14:20 New loan signing Keane only makes the bench for Aston Villa, who welcome back Shay Given after a six week lay-off with a hamstring problem. Gibson makes his debut for Everton, while injuries to Sylvain Distin and Phil Jagielka mean a first league start for Shane Duffy at the heart of defence.
