Just two kick-offs this Sunday as Arsenal travel up to Goodison Park to try and capitalise on United’s draw at Villa Park and move into second place while Chelsea look to open up a lead of 5 or 6 points – depending on the Arsenal result – to their closest rivals at the top.

Everton have recalled Seamus Coleman and Johnny Heitinga to their starting line-up in place of Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and the suspended Marouanne Fellaini. Arsenal meanwhile recall Samir Nasri in place of Thomas Rosicky, the teams in full are…

Everton XI: Howard, Neville, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Coleman, Arteta, Heitinga, Pienaar, Cahill, Saha.

Arsenal XI: Fabianski, Sagna, Djourou, Squillaci, Clichy, Nasri, Song, Wilshere, Arshavin, Fabregas, Chamakh

    I wish Song didn't go forward so often.... It just means that Fabregas ends up having to cover him. And Song is hopeless going forward. I've lost count of the number of times he's given the ball away, often passing it straight out of play.

    That Cahill miss from a Coleman cross is going to haunt me for a while.

                There's a large difference between having played better recently and being a better fantasy pick. A big one.

          Arteta has desire to go forward but his position is one of a holding midfielder - exactly the same as Gerrard at Liverpool for the past 2 games. He's not allowed to go too far forward.

          However, I think that Moyes will allow him to go futher forward this second half seen as how they are losing.

      he over acheived in terms of goals last season..he was never a goal scorer ...he was more of a goal creater.....song has improved as a player n he was given freedom to go forward bcoz of wilshere who is playing the role that song did last season....

        That's two incorrect comments in two.

        Poor form, sir.

        Because home against bottom of the league is an awful fixture for Torres!

            He's traveling all the way out to Spain still, it can't be that bad.

            I'd be surprised if he's not okay for the weekend.

                Well he's still score 9-7-6-12 in the four home games he's properly played, so I'd be a bit wary of selling him this week - imagine when he can "be arsed".

    First time I've seen Everton properly this season. Although it's been mentioned often I can't believe how deep Arteta is playing. He offers very little attacking threat in open play and will be joining my hit list unless something drastic happens in the 2nd half.

    Getting rid of Fabregas looks moer and more tempting everytime I see him play.

        He only scored because he thought he was playing for Barca. Normal service will be resumed.
