Everton vs Aston Villa LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Follow all the action from Hill Dickinson Stadium

Follow live coverage as Everton face Aston Villa today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.

The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.

Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:

Everton vs Aston Villa

The full-time whistle blows at Hill Dickinson Stadium as Everton and Aston Villa draw 0-0. The Toffees were unfortunate not to take the lead in the first half after Grealish saw his close-range effort saved by the feet of the returning Martinez. Keane had multiple opportunities to score with his head, but failed to convert them into goals. Martinez made a stunning left-hand save onto the crossbar to deny Keane in the 72nd minute. The hosts had 20 shots and this was reflected through an xG of 2.12, whereas the visitors struggled in the final third, highlighted by an xG of 0.31. The result sees Everton remain in fifth place in the Premier League table, with the Villans sitting in 19th place after four games played. David Moyes' side will now head to Anfield for next week's Merseyside derby, whereas, Villa will travel to Sunderland in their next league encounter. Thank you for reading and take care!

Villa are defending resolutely in the closing stages. It's all Everton at the moment. Grealish has an opportunity on the left-hand side of the pitch, but Cash and Guessand work well together to sniff the danger out.

WIDE! A long through ball is played to Barry, who drives towards the Villa goal, but Mings is able to get back and block the striker's effort wide of the left-hand post! The Toffees are searching for a winner...

WIDE! Grealish receives the ball on the byline before delivering a cross into the Villa six-yard box, but Keane heads wide of the right-hand post! The defender could have scored a hat-trick today!

Elliot is being booed by the Evertonians whenever he touches the ball. The attacker signed from Liverpool in the summer transfer window.

The second Villa change sees Watkins replaced by Malen. It has been a very quiet day for Unai Emery's striker.

Unai Emery makes a double change. The first sees Bogarde come off for former Manchester United defender Lindelof.

Dewsbury-Hall goes down on the left-hand side of the pitch after Guessand brings him down. Grealish complained to the referee after Cash tugged at his shirt earlier on. The on-loan Manchester City attacker needs to be careful as he is already on a booking.
