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.

    TWO BIG CHANCES

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Everton v Arsenal is often close, regardless of league position.

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

    Onana, gueye and doucoure are bossing things

  3. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Everton missing sitters

    keeping their goal tally low.

  4. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Come on Everton!

  5. Zimo

    2 years, 11 months ago

    Everton bossing the xG 😛

  6. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    That header was Darwin Nunez esque.

  7. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Imagine Patterson in this team at just £3.9m 😮

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Dyche loves older heads, if they play well Coleman will keep his place.

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I know so little about Dyche and Burnley I'm not going to fact check this. But I'd imagine it is more just the fact that he always had a low budget and older players are cheaper

        1. Defcons are for Kinnear
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Dyche picks played based upon how they voted for Brexit

          1. TheTinman
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            😆 you got me

        2. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          4 of that back 5 are a Sean Dyche wet dream he just wishes he could get Charlie Taylor in for Myko!

          1. TheTinman
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 11 months ago

            😆 😆 😆

    Darwin has work to do later to keep his reputation intact.

  9. Deulofail
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Are Everton going to rue those missed chances?

    Give me a commentator's contract.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      "Arteta will be the happier of the two managers going in at the break."

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

        He'll be the more relieved but they are on course to drop 2 points

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

          Better than 3 😉

      2. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        5 Iron. Wedge. Slice. Hook

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

      "0-0 at half time but that doesn't tell the whole story!"

  10. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Not the best week to have brought in a Arsenal attacker

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

      People took hits for for this game

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Get 3 ars they said !
      See if eve can keep this up second half

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

    And it's Liverpool next 😆 poor Klopp

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

      He will be feeling the pressure with Stevie G waiting in the wings.

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard are going to be the Mark Hughes and Steve Bruce of this generation. Class players but awful managers.

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

    Saka shot cleared off the line

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

      Great cross, great strike.

    2. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Great commentating

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

    As a Martinelli owner im happy if he makes 60 atm

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

    Coady clears Saka shot on goal. Well defended that.

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Wolves at the door

  15. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Saka close

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

    The bottling has begun

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      It’s the new manager bounce for Everton, can see them tiring second half and Arsenal winning this. They have more quality and Everton severely lack goals.

      They do look better under Dyche though

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

        So bad in reality isn’t it? The concept of a manager bounce, like why can’t the players work that hard regardless

        1. TheTinman
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          I see you've never worked for a terrible manager before

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

            Wouldn’t change my work ethic mate

        2. The Tinkerman
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          It just the change of voice and approach often.

  17. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Shite

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

    who are the Everton fans booing
    or is it not booing I can't tell

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      The ref

    2. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Lampard

  19. jacob1989
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is anyone score this gw?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Kepa.

  20. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Pffft get up Martinelli. Poor refereeing that

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      No

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

      Gueye had his hand on Martinelli's face. It wasn't hard, but why is he putting his hand there?

      1. TheTinman
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        He has soft and shiny hair, it's irresistible

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

          Carry on

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

    Regret starting White over Botman 🙁

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

      Huh?

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

      Why?

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

        Because Everton keep getting great chance after chance and I'm gonna have a heart attack watching. Dcl just had another one as I was typing this

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

        Probably ends up getting hooked here at halftime the way they have played.

    3. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      White will prob be hooked at 62 mins with a banked cleanie

      1. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Or 59th

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

        Here's hoping it's not 59

  22. banskt
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Oh, I bought 3 Arsenal attackers and sold White for a hit.

    Now, blanks are bound to happen.

    1. Gon Freecss
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Hypothetical: If you hadn't done that move already this GW, would you take a hit to get 3 ARS attackers for next GW double, or stick with White?

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        If I hadn't done that move, then I would have bought Bruno.

        Therefore, I would have 2 Arsenal attackers going into GW23. So, it's essentially a 2-week decision. Not a 1-week decision.

  23. Deulofail
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Notification that Burnley scored made my heart sink before I realised on watching Everton

    1. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I'm*

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

    DCL sitter

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

    Why was a FK given for the Nketiah lunge? Didn't get that close.

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

      Ref bottled it trying to appease the home fans

    2. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bad decision for sure

  26. JBG
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I apologies Ødegaard and Saka owners, brought them in this GW.

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

      I also bought 2 of them this week. Gabriel and Ode. Think we broke them

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

    Pickford should get a yellow card for diving

  28. Gizzachance
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Eve are gonna regret these missed chances

  29. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    I'd book Nketiah for that 😉

  30. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Arteta going to ring some changes not happy
