Saturday’s last hurrah finds Arsenal facing off with Everton at the Emirates. The Gunners are enjoying a formidable run of form, having bested the likes of Manchester United and Bayern Munich this month. Meanwhile, the Toffees need to steady the ship following a 3-0 home defeat to the Red Devils last time out.

Arsenal ranked second for goals scored (11) over the last four Gameweeks, converting 16.9% of their chances. Furthermore, they placed second for shots inside the box (49) and third for big chances (12) over that stretch. After losing 2-0 to West Ham United in Gameweek 1, the North London outfit recorded shut-outs in their subsequent trio of home ties, which suggests that Everton’s forward contingent face a challenging afternoon.

Everton are unbeaten on their travels this term, chalking up two wins and two draws in the process. No side has conceded fewer goals in away fixtures (two) than the Toffees, so a shut-out isn’t beyond the realms of possibility. Roberto Martinez’s charges needs to sharpen up their shooting if they are to breach the Gunners’ rearguard, though, having ranked in the bottom five for shots on target (12) in the last four Gameweeks.

      • 11 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Yep. Brought in, captained, no scoring points by half time & taken off because they're comfortable. It's bound to happen

  20. Ayew Serious

  21. Bubz
    • 12 Years

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      They will not play against Arsenal every week

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Their defending is shocking

    3. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights

    Dat Everton defence

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      As I've said all week. Arsenal or Saints defenders better option.

      1. Zizoulicious
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        spurs better than saints in my opinion

  30. In Like Flynn.
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years

    Who is/are the big liability/ties for Everton at the back?

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      Howard.

      1. In Like Flynn.
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 3 months ago

        Is he just past premiership standard now Parm?

          • 12 Years
          10 years, 3 months ago

          Has been for a year or so. Key tell was his "save of the season" contenders looked like big camera saves because his initial positioning was so poor.

    2. Zizoulicious
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 3 months ago

      goalkeeper coming for crosses? To be fair Arsenal's set pieces have been on the spot
