Arsenal are in action this evening as the Gunners host Everton at the Emirates in the Premier League.
It’s a great chance for Arsenal to extend their lead at the top to five points, with this game equalling City’s matches played after the fixture was postponed.
Mikel Arteta’s side will look for revenge on Everton as the Gunners were defeated by the blues at the start of February in Sean Dyche’s first game in charge.
A goal from James Tarkowski at Goodison Park sealed Arsenal’s fate as the Gunners dropped a rare three points to commence a sticky patch of form.
Arteta’s side are back firing, with two wins on the road in impressive fashion taking them back to the summit of the table with two points in their favour.
The Spaniard is set to name an unchanged side from the one that featured at Leicester City, where we saw an impressive display from Leandro Trossard.
The Belgian played in the false nine role in place of Eddie Nketiah who is looking to recommence the stellar form that he showed previously this campaign.
Arteta sounded less confident about the fitness of Thomas Partey, who came back from injury last weekend as a 84th minute substitute at Leicester.
The Arsenal boss admitted that the midfielder hasn’t trained as much as he’d liked so it’s expected we will see Jorginho keep his place in the midfield.
It’s a must-win fixture for Arsenal, with fixtures coming twice a week at such a pivotal time in the season, a chance to go five points clear is non-negotiable.
The Gunners kick off at 19.45 at the Emirates this evening.
