# The last time Aston Villa did league double over Everton

Aston Villa [host](https://www.avfc.co.uk/match/mens/2020-21/g2128467) Everton in the Premier League at Villa Park on Thursday, May 13 and could complete the double over their opponents if they pick up all three points.

The Villans [beat](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/aston-villa/bilanzdetail/verein/405/wettbewerb_id/gegner_id/29/saison_id/heim_gast/datum_von/-/datum_bis/-/day/0/land_id/0) Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park on May 1 and are sure to get a response from the Toffees this time round, but Dean Smith’s men could end a 20-year wait to take maximum points off Everton if his side can deliver.

The last time Villa did the double was all the way back in 2001. They beat Everton [1-0](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/1042118) at Goodison on November 5, 2000 thanks to a late Paul Merson winner, and beat them [2-1](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/spielbericht/index/spielbericht/1043262) at Villa Park on April 14, 2001, courtesy of goals from Dion Dublin and Ian Taylor.

Villa are currently 11th in the league and two points adrift of 10th-placed Leeds United, so a win over Everton would see them move into the top-half of the table.

Everton have done the league double over Villa twice in the last eight years. They beat Villa 2-0 at Villa Park on October 26, 2013 and beat them 2-1 at Goodison Park on February 1, 2014 to secure maximum points in 2013/14. Then they thrashed Villa 4-0 at Goodison on November 21, 2015 and won 3-1 at Villa Park on March 1, 2016 to secure maximum points in 2015/16.
