Everton and Aston Villa headline the 3pm Premier League schedule on Saturday, with Jack Grealish a focal point after being named Premier League Player of the Month following a bright start to life on Merseyside. The match at the Hill Dickinson Stadium drew attention before kick-off amid anticipation over Grealish's return to the club where he came through the ranks.
Daily Mail Sport's live coverage of the early Saturday fixtures, updated at 14:13 BST on 13 September 2025, will monitor Everton v Aston Villa alongside Bournemouth v Brighton, Newcastle v Wolves, Crystal Palace v Sunderland and Fulham v Leeds United.

Everton's acquisition of Grealish has attracted scrutiny and excitement in equal measure after his early-season displays. The 31-year-old earned the league's monthly award for performances that have accelerated his integration into Sean Dyche's squad. Villa, for their part, travel to Merseyside seeking points against a side that has been reshaped over the summer transfer window.
Across the other 3pm fixtures, clubs aimed to consolidate early-season form or arrest poor runs.
