Arsenal host Everton in the Premier League today as they look to put pressure on leaders Liverpool by getting quickly back to winning ways.
Mikel Arteta’s side were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Fulham last time out, though followed that up with a 3-0 win over Monaco in the Champions League on a night where they could have scored much more but for some wayward finishing.
The third-place Gunners currently sit seven points off leaders Liverpool in the title race and now two behind Chelsea in second, but will fancy their chances of at least jumping a place when they host the Toffees this afternoon.
Sean Dyche’s men have endured another largely miserable season to date but did thrash lowly Wolves 4-0 before seeing last weekend’s final league Merseyside derby against Liverpool at Goodison Park postponed due to Storm Darragh hitting the UK.
