Everton have a perfect record so far at their shiny new home and will be out to make it three wins in a row at the Hill Dickinson Stadium when Aston Villa come calling.
Before David Moyes returned for a second spell at the helm, there was a danger Everton would playing their first game at the new ground in the Championship.
But the Scot worked his magic to avoid the drop by a distance and his side now look in the mood to push on.
After a poor 1-0 loss at Leeds on opening day, Everton racked up back-to-back home wins over Brighton and Mansfield then claimed a 3-2 victory at Wolves.
That saw them head into the international break on a high but it has been a different story at Aston Villa after a disappointing start to the campaign.
Unai Emery has led Villa to top-six finishes in the last two seasons but there seems to have been a hangover from missing out on a Champions League slot on the final day of last term.
They've taken just one point from their first three Premier League games with Newcastle, Brentford and Crystal Palace, so Villa desperately need a win on Merseyside.
How the bookies view it: Little in it
With Villa in poor form and Everton unbeaten at home, the Toffees are slight favourites for this one at 6/4. Emery's side are 19/10 and the draw pays 9/4.
Recent head to head: Unlucky 13 for Toffees
Aston Villa have been a bogey team for Everton of late, with the Toffees claiming just one win in the last 13 meetings. Emery's side won both games last season, with a 3-2 victory at Villa Park followed by a 1-0 triumph at Goodison.
Players to watch: Jack's the ace card
Jack Grealish looks like an inspired signing for Everton and he brought up one of our Super Singles by providing two assists on his debut.
The winger followed that up by setting up two more goals in the win over Wolves so he looks good value at 7/5 with Bet365 to score or assist here.
Morgan Rogers was superb for Aston Villa last season but impressed for England against Serbia in midweek. He will return to his club in high spirits and is 8/5 at Bet365 for a goal or assist.
Probable line-ups
Villa landed wingers Jadon Sancho and Harvey Elliott on deadline day and it will be interesting to see if Emery hands them debuts. Ross Barkley, Amadou Onana, Boubacar Kamara and Andres Garcia are doubts while keeper Emi Martinez is available again after a ban.
Most of Everton's problems are in defence, with Nathan Patterson, Vitalii Mykolenko, Adam Aznou and Jarrad Branthwaite all carrying injuries.
Everton: Pickford, O'Brien, Tarkowski, Coleman, Gueye, Garner, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish, Ndiaye, Beto.
Aston Villa: Martinez, Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne, McGinn, Tielemans, Rogers, Elliott, Buendia, Watkins.
Anything else catch the eye?
Aston Villa have too many good players to stay in the doldrums and I've a feeling this game will be close. The half-time draw pays 21/20 at BoyleSports while backing most goals to come after the break is the same price.
Everton's games haven't been producing a lot of corners so far this season, with an average of under six. So going for under 10 corners in this one could pay off at 6/5 with Bet365.
Matty Cash will probably have the task of keeping Grealish quiet and I like the 11/10 on offer at Bet365 for him to commit over 1.5 fouls. He's also 11/4 to go into the book.
