Undefeated in the league against Everton since we came back up. P12 W9 D 3 L 0.
13 undefeated would be a new record beating our 12 game unbeaten run 1909-14.

Kinda bonkers we did so well against them back then. They were runners up in the League in 1909 and 1912.

Mind you, we won it in 1910 and 2nd in 1911, 1913 and 1914.

We really can’t afford to lose this game.  I’d take a draw now I think.

Obviously 'must-wins' are a long way away yet, but the thing about seasons is that, if you fuck up a game in which you should have got something, you need to make up for it in a game where you might've accepted an L otherwise. 0 points from Brentford away and Palace at home (I know, they're Palace, but they're not going to win the league so) isn't good enough, and needs to be compensated for somewhere.

[Clampy]

Three points would obviously be fantastic and should be the aim but if it ends up being a draw and preferably a clean sheet, I'll take that as well.

We need to win and start the season. No ifs buts or coconuts.

Next four games are Everton and Sunderland away, followed by Fulham and Burnley at home.  Good chance to get back on track there.

Definitely! I reckon a Desmond: Elliott and Rogers to score to build on his England performance this week.

[Chris_Jephcott]

Nope, I have a bad feeling about this one.

4-0 Everton. Grealish masterclass. Villa fan navel-gazing session ensues.

No hope, no harm, just another false alarm

You'd take a nil-nil over a three-three?  Mental...we haven't scored in fucking months!

It’s tough, but given our start nothing less than a win will do.
