Aston Villa manager Unai Emery believes his side have "broken their bad spell" after earning their first away clean sheet this season in a 1-0 win at Everton.

Ross Barkley is sidelined after suffering a calf injury against West Ham and was replaced by Amadou Onana in the 19th minute. The Belgian will return to Goodison Park tomorrow for the first time since he joined Villa for £50m in the summer.

David Moyes' return as Everton manager failed to muster a response from the toothless Toffees in a 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa on Wednesday.But there was no new manager bounce as Villa took control inside the opening minutes.

"This victory is very important. We have started the year winning at home, in the Premier League and in the FA Cup. Away, we were in a bad spell and had to break it."

Fulltime Thoughts - Simply not good enough from Everton, way too many mistakes to not be punished by a quality side like Aston Villa. 1-0 to the visitors, the Moyes era off to a false start. 90+5’ - Villa have a freekick in the Everton half,
