Supporters will be hoping for a cracking contest against Everton as they open up their home campaign this weekend - and they'd do worse than the April 2009 contest.

Villa battled back from 3-1 down to secure a point against the Toffees but it looked 'sticky' for a while.

Marouane Fellaini gave Everton the lead when he slotted in an excellent cross from Leighton Baines before Tim Cahill headed in Steven Pienaar's corner.

John Carew slammed in to reduce the arrears, but Pienaar restored the two-goal advantage with a great 20-yarder.

But that's when Villa really rolled their socks up to come storming back into the game.

James Milner smashed in a 25-yard free-kick before Gareth Barry completed the comeback from the spot after Joleon Lescott had fouled Stiliyan Petrov.

The 40,188 crowd were treated to a terrific thriller at Villa - and how the fans coming on Saturday will hope for more of the same.
