    'The expectation was to do better and there are clear signs'

    Sean Dyche is pleased with the "growth" shown by his Everton side during his tenure at Goodison Park. Thursday's 3-0 win over Newcastle was his team's sixth in the Premier League this season, and the Toffees would have been 10th in the table had it not been for their 10-point deduction. Everton's next opponents are Chelsea, who have had a mixed start to the season under Mauricio Pochettino.

    'Arsenal face a Villa side in a far more advanced stage of their evolution'

    Back in February, Aston Villa manager Unai Emery labelled his goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez "embarrassing" after his joining the attack led to Arsenal's fourth goal in a 4-2 win at Villa Park. Martinelli's strike was the second goal scored by the Gunners in stoppage time - after Jorginho's long-range shot had come off the crossbar and bounced in off Martinez - to send them back above Manchester City to the top of the Premier League. Three months into Emery's reign - including the World Cup break - Villa ended the day in the bottom half, 26 points behind Mikel Arteta's side.
