Goodison Park stadium in Liverpool is getting ready to host a game between their home team Everton F.C. and Aston Villa F.C. on Wednesday, 15 January, 2025. Aston Villa isn’t a direct contender for the Premier League 2024/25 champion title, but they are firmly positioned in the upper part of the league table. On the other hand, Everton, while not facing relegation, has to work hard not to fall to the bottom of the table.
Everton continues this season with their current coach Sean Dyche who took over the position on 30 January 2023. It was under his management that the club won 2 – 0 in the Merseyside Derby against Liverpool F.C. This was their first victory since 2010 against their long-standing rivals in a home match.
Aston Villa didn’t make any changes regarding their manager either. Unai Emery has been with the club for two years. Leaving his former club, Spanish Villarreal, he officially became the head coach of the Villas on 24 October 2022 and led his team to a 3 – 1 victory over Manchester United in his very first game in charge.
Currently, the Premier League 2024-25 season table looks the following:
| Position | Team | Played | Wins | Draws | Losses | Points | Qualification |
| 1 | Liverpool | 19 | 14 | 4 | 1 | 46 | Qualification for the Champions League league phase |

Their opening game this season was a home match with Brighton, which they lost 0 – 3.
Aston Villa is currently in the eighth position, holding steady in the League. However, they still have a somewhat long way to go, as last season they finished fourth. They started the 2024/25 season with an away match against West Ham and won 2 – 1.
