Manchester United v Everton, Chelsea v Aston Villa and more: Premier League – live

Maresca has made 10 changes from the midweek win at Heidenheim. Jadon Sancho is the player to keep his place in the lineup.

For Villa there are three changes: Konsa, Philogene and Bailey come in after the stalemate with Juventus.

How big is three points against Aston Villa, Enzo Maresca is asked. (I live for this stuff.)

“It’s a big game,” Maresca says. “It will be a tough game, the same as the rest. We are not focused on the top four. We are just focused on the game.”

Is it a formation change? “It could be. We’ll see.”

Great, thanks for that. And why is he starting with Jadon Sancho?

“Jadon Sancho is doing well … he was very good in the Conference League. I said many times. He’s very important for us, and hopefully he can help us.”

Second comment on this: “What a team. I love football hehe.”

Don’t we all mate.

The live game on a well-known sports broadcaster is Chelsea v Aston Villa. I must say that after Tottenham v Roma on Thursday, the most entertaining game I’ve seen in ages, I’d rather watch Spurs v Fulham.

But as a wise person once said: “It is what it is.”

I could have sworn Micah Richards just called his fellow pundit Daniel Sturridge “Dave”. It was all getting a bit heated in the studio there for a second.
