Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Arsenal

Sunday’s action gets underway at Goodison Park as Everton and Arsenal go head-to-head in the 1.30pm kick-off.

The Gunners seek a fifth clean sheet in six as they attempt to bounce back from last week’s late capitulation at Watford.

Arsene Wenger recalls both Alexis Sanchez and Aaron Ramsey, who both missed out through injury at Vicarage Road.

Sitting in just 2% of FPL squads, Sanchez has suffered a hugely underwhelming start to the season and has mustered just two assists, though both have arrived in his last two appearances.

Mesut Ozil is handed a first start since Gameweek 5, while Alexandre Lacazette is the most captained player for Sunday’s early encounter – over 143,000 have handed the Frenchman the armband, though all four of his league strikes have arrived at the Emirates so far.

Everton’s disastrous start to the season has ensured that most of us have steered well clear of their main men.

Gylfi Sigurdsson and Wayne Rooney remain their likeliest source of points, though Dominic Calvert-Lewin is worth monitoring as a budget frontman.

Priced at 5.0, the youngster starts for the fourth successive Gameweek and may yet prove a viable option if the Toffees can find their form ahead of clashes against Leicester, Watford, Palace, Southampton, West Ham and Huddersfield in the next six.

    Any info about Chalobah injury?

      "We expect that [he will be back in 2017] but we'll see. You never know what can happen."

      That was when he got injured, nothing since.

    Calvert looks a proper talent from what I've watch him this season.

    "Xhaka has had more shots this season than any other Arsenal player..."
    Surely this can't be right?

        They never said the shots were good

          Even so, I'm a bit sceptical...

            If that stat is true, it's more a reflection on the other players imo...

          he does a coutinho with less accuracy, shoots a lot from distance, not helped by the fact their fans shout shoooooot everytime he touches it

        Why pay £50-60 to get front row tickets to a sports event, music concert or something else, only to stand there and watch the whole thing through your mobile phone? Presumably whilst recording it?
