Arsenal vs Everton LIVE: Premier League team news, lineups and more

Thanks to a strong midweek performance in the Champions League, Arsenal have boosted their confidence and will be hoping to bounce back at home to Everton.

Mikel Arteta’s side stumbled again in the title race after drawing their last Premier League game against Fulham. Perhaps only the postponement of the Merseyside derby prevented them from losing ground to Liverpool. Evidence of an over-reliance on set-pieces was somewhat refuted by a better attacking performance against Monaco, with Bukayo Saka at the helm, but finding their flow in this competition will be crucial to Arteta’s ambitions.

A well-rested Everton will be hoping for the chance to cause even more headaches for the home coach as they play for the first time in 10 days. The delay of the last derby at Goodison Park by Storm Darragh was a disappointment but means Sean Dyche and his team have had plenty of time to reflect on a good performance and 4-0 win over Wolves in early December. Can they reach this level again and cause a shock in London?
