Dan Bardell, still recovering from a weekend without social media, hosts The Athletic's weekly Aston Villa podcast with club correspondent Gregg Evans.

Gregg provides an update from court where PC Benjamin Monk is facing a charge of murder after the death of Dalian Atkinson in 2016. On the pitch, goals from Ollie Watkins and Anwar El Ghazi delivered an excellent win at Goodison Park; arguably the best away result of the season.

We look a bit closer at Ross Barkley, who played really well again at Everton prompting a possible rethink on his future, and Dan picks out the club's top three closest rivals from the Premier League era.
