Rémi Garde: Every game is a big game for Aston Villa’s new manager. Time isn’t on his side and has to start picking up results quickly. He’ll be keen to follow up the draw with Manchester City with another good result.

The teams drew 2-2 at Goodison Park in 2011. A late penalty from Leighton Baines secured a point for the hosts that day.
