That should have been a solid three points on the board last night but despite twenty-two shots on goal and sixty-five percent possession, we just couldn't get that winning goal. At least our makeshift defence was pretty solid.

Anyway, some of you got the correct score and goal scorer last night so you still have a chance to double-up if Scum lose against West Ham tomorrow!

Let's not dwell and move right on to today's game which is...

@nathen007's Prediction

Villa sit mid-table on a very unspectacular four points. The loss of Grealish and the bedding in of their new, close season signings is taking a little time but in theory, they ought to have a half decent side.

Their last outing at Chelsea was a good game, they were right in the mix for most of the game and we saw signs of what they could be capable of given a little more time. The 3-0 score line in no way reflected Villa's performance and they will rue their missed chances. The return of Argentina pair Emiliano Martinez and Emiliano Buendia are certainly going to boost their hopes of taking something against a rejuvenated Everton who have made a strong start to the season under Benitez.

Everton might just struggle today through the absence of Calvert-Lewin, Fabien Delph and James Rodriguez. They are sitting proudly on ten points in fourth along but had to really fight back after going a goal behind at Burnley.

Andros Townsend has been like a man reborn this season and if he continues in that vein today, he could cause Everton some real problems.

On paper, this ought to be a really good game and very difficult to predict but let's give it a go.

Prediction: Aston Villa 2 : 2 Everton - First goal scorer: Townsend

Simply write the name of the FIRST GOALSCORER and the CORRECT SCORE as a comment. The competition closes 5 minutes before kick-off which is 17.30 BST (16.30 UTC)

The Small Print

In the first goal scorer competition, own goals do not count. In the correct score competition, it's the score after 90mins. Extra time and penalties do not count and the pot for each competition will roll over if there is no winner. If more than one person chooses the same first goal scorer or correct score, the prize is shared, and everyone gets a little upvote! It seems I also need to add, one entry per person. Don't forget the new rule that only people with a rep of 50 or above are eligible to enter unless they have been approved. The bonus will be added to any winnings ONLY if Leeds United win and/or Man U lose and all pay-outs will never exceed 50% of post pay-out. Other bonuses are paid out at my discretion.

And the Winners Were...

Well done to @harpreetjanda and @jfang003 who both got the 1-1 scoreline who take 2500 tokens each and just @etiboy56 correctly predicted Raphinha to score the first goal and takes the whole 5500 tokens. If Man.U lose on Sunday, I will then send the same amount to you all again but the current winnings are on their way!

Out of the hat for the HBI shares were @harpreetjanda and @maxwellnewlife7. Well done to you boys!

And thats your lot for today! Thanks as always for playing along and I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend with some great sport. See you all tomorrow.

Marching On Together
