It’s 19th versus 1st in the Saturday lunchtime match, as Everton take on Arsenal at Goodison Park.

Kick-off on Merseyside is at 12:30 GMT.

Sean Dyche takes control of the Toffees for the first time and has made two changes from predecessor Frank Lampard’s last game in charge a fortnight ago.

Dwight McNeil, who is reunited with his former Burnley boss, and Abdoulaye Doucoure are recalled, as Yerry Mina and Demarai Gray make way.

The Arsenal team news is simple: they are, once again, unchanged in the league.

That means that Thomas Partey is fit, with the Ghana international having been forced off in the FA Cup defeat to Manchester City a week ago.

New signing Jorginho joins fellow January recruits Leandro Trossard and Jakub Kiwior on the bench for the visitors.

    I thought Digne was out for a long time?

    1. Free Hat
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Was fully training according to the press.
      Thats why I was reluctant to go Moreno.

    Odegaard bullied today. Get players around him and he’s out the game

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Every Arsenal player has been poor

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear

      Arsenal have a weak mentality. They are push overs. They need someone like Dyche in there to toughen them up.

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      If in doubt, kick them!

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Trossard shot saved

  4. lilmessipran

    Think I might do Martinelli to Saka for a hit this week

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It's stupid. Really stupid.

      And yet I'm close to being there too.

      1. lilmessipran
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Think Mart has been bang average past few games, won't be surprised if he gets benched for Trossard for one of the games in the double.. Saka nailed on and on pens really tempted

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I can get Saka no worries. It's whether Martinelli to Odegaard is worth it....

  5. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Ode not nailed for 90 these days....

  6. Ten Hag of Bud
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Come on Everton!

    See it out

  7. Zalk

    Classic premier league, bottom beating the top. Underestimating your opponent I guess.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Not really, dyche got them organised and goodison is a bit of a cauldron. The kind of thing you love to see

      1. Zalk
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Haha, how much influence do you think Dyche has had? Of course it's underestimation. Arsenal just beat United and Spurs..."This should be easier". Classic

    2. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Hold off on this kind of chatter for 10 mins or so will you

  8. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Saka with a terrible shot

  9. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Been coveting Odegaard for weeks while he rakes in the points. Holding Almiron for weeks (while ignoring him all pre-Christmas). Finally make the switch. Part 1 of another crap transfer accomplished.

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      With Almiron, he was never going to keep it up.
      Odegaard just had one of those days today, but he will continue to keep bringing home the hauls in the future

      1. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        It's a long-term move for sure, but could have just waited one more week though. Fully expecting a 15 pointer later.

    2. Mainoo Magic
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Yep I did the same moved it made sense and is better long term but annoying that odegaard has such a bad game just after bringing him in.

  10. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    You just know Almiron is gonna rip WHU a new one, because thats the way fpl works

  11. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Martinelli and White> McNeil and Tarkowski for -8 ?

    1. Urban Cowboy.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nearly feels like a cheat code.

      1. TyroneGAA
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Agree no cheating allowed

  12. Free Hat
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I really, really, really,... hate Martial.

    Had him, but just kept after his sub on in the cup.
    Didnt expert a start by any means, but at least something...
    Now probably a 1 pointer over 2 games in worst case.

    So glad to finally get rid next gw

  13. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Ugh! What’s happened to Martial?!

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Made of poppadoms

      1. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        …that have been covered in chutney and then left out overnight

  14. TomSaints
    • 8 Years

    Gabriel and Odegaard in this week for a hit =[

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Thank you

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years

      Gabriel for a hit?

  15. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Botman clean sheet guaranteed later.

  16. Rainer

  17. Sandy Ravage
    • 9 Years

  18. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    1. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nah, someone mentioned it earlier.

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Okay u heard it here second folks!

    2. Urban Cowboy.
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Get ready everybody. He's about to do something stupid.

  19. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Trossard crap.

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Dumb sub by the manager

  20. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    How's Trossard been better than Martinelli

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Erm, is this a rhetorical question?

      He hasn’t been better than Marty

      1. GOTHAM City F.C.
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        😉

  21. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    This is the worst Arsenal have been all season. But no idea why they felt the need to take off one of their best players for someone who wasn’t getting in the Brighton team. And I saw Martinelli this week

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      *sold

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      He wasn’t getting into the Brighton team because he fell out with the manager, not because of talent.

      1. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Is he as good as Mitoma?

  22. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Trossard bang average, that’s why spurs didn’t want him

  23. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Trossard too greedy

  24. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    COME ON MITOMA! Shiny new buy in for March this week 🙂

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Still February tho

  25. Total Foot 5
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Peak arsenal...downslide incoming...or not

  26. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Trossard such a bad buy, just blocking Martinelli and doing nothing

  27. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Trossard taking minutes off martinelli & set peices off odegaard

    1. Baines on Toast...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      And quality off Arsenal

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      How many assists does odegaard have from set pieces? He was only on free kicks. Marti and Saka take corners

  28. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    BOU & CRY worse down Solly's flank
    Weird sideways move.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Fail reply to Father Kane.

  29. George Sillett
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Arteta been made to look like a rabbit in the headlights today. Substitutions have been odd. Dyche has completely outwitted him.

  30. SamH123
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Undav finally starts
