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.

    Small sample size but it looks like the January window might have ruined Arsenal’s season

    1. Hazz

      Chelsea masterclass

        2 years, 11 months ago

        It does look like that. Force them into a panic but which disrupts the dressing room and made them change something that wasn’t broken

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

          Nonsense, sorry.

            Really? Momentum is everything

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

              We haven't affected their starting XI.

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      You are right,.. the sample size is too small. This is utter nonsense.

      Everton have been on it today.

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

        There will never be a sample big enough anyway. There's no control to compare to. People don't understand how to understand things 😀

  2. Drexl Spivey
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    If only just to spite Piers Morgan...

  3. Tonyawesome69

    84 mins
    White off
    Tomiyasu on

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

      Well 2 is better than 1

  4. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    White goes on the sunbed before a match. Pass it on

  5. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Come on then Bruno TC.. huge huge swing if he out performs rashy!

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

    Gilmour and Undav.
    Makes Brighton a bit lesser I reckon

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

      Gilmour has been alright. Undav...eh

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

    I had Undav in my team at the start of the season.

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

    5 min extra time is too much

  9. Jeppe1234
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Digne on my bench, so you know hes about to haul.... 🙂

  10. tbos83
    • 5 Years

    White, Ode and Marti owner.. do I hold all for the dgw

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      They won't play Everton every week

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

      Silly question

    3. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I think so.

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

      Nah -8. Get em all out.

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

      Yeah. Silly to sell a DGW player, before their DGW

    6. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      keep them for the season. best value players in the game

  11. Sandy Ravage
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Gueye MOTM

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

    Arsenal don't have a plan B when they struggle. The subs made are like for like and no change in setup/tactics

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

      Like for like in position but worse in quality.

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

      It's the same problem with Arsene Wenger

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

        Don't think Emery was a like for like replacement

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

      Oh for goodness sake they're top of the league and winning almost every week

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

        First time struggling.

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

        This. Some of the knee-jerk and hindsight warrior comment on this site is laughable.

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

        Haha not sure what that's got to do with my opinion on I'm seeing in this game

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

          "Arsenal don't have a plan B when they struggle". Clearly a general comment about Arsenal; not just about today.

  13. ididnt

    Almiron / Mitoma hauling this afternoon. This is guaranteed

  14. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    My defence for GW25 was going to be just White and Bueno. Er, possibly no defenders now!

  15. The Mandalorian
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    If only ARS had played EVE a week earlier they'd probably have won 3 nil. Timing is everything.

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

      They surely have been lucky so far

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

    It's the hope that kills you

  17. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    City now favourite to win the league with the bookies - was that also the case before today?

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

      Nope, Arsenal moved to favourites after the win at Spurs, iirc.

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

    Gary Neville is going to be in a good mood today.

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Even a broken analog clock is right at least twice a day

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        If I tear the hands off, what time is it right?

      2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        every clock is broken twice a day

  19. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Martinelli way better than Trossard. What was Arteta thinking..

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Silly decision in hindsight
      Changing a winning team

  20. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    exit plans for White and Martinelli need to be discussed

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Short conversation

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

      White still okay for the time being.
      Martinelli > Odegaard already booked in for me

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

    People might be overreacting, me included, but this is a massive result. New manager or not Everton are absolute garbage and losing to them is not an option if you want to win the league

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

      Now they are all kicking off. This is starting to feel like a collapse

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

      Unless it is and they do. Nonsense again, sorry.

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

    Zinchenko has been awful

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

      Ouch

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

    Handbags!

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

    Zinchenko maupay fight

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

      Yellow for both

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

    Scenes

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

    Fight fight fight

  27. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Maupay tactics

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

      He's done it again!

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

    Maupay is a genius

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

    Arsenal cracking earlier than expected.

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

    Maupay better at wrestling than football
