Arsenal’s four-game winning streak was arrested against Fulham last weekend with a 1-1 away draw. However, the Gunners remained a formidable force at Emirates Stadium with a perfect 3-0 victory over Monaco in the last time out in Champions League. Mikel Arteta’s men will also be in a high sense of confidence at home following back-to-back victories against Manchester United and Nottingham Forest. Arsenal have secured eight victories and three draws in 15 rounds of Premier League and are placed in the third position, six points behind the top.
Everton sealed a remarkable 4-0 win over Wolves to break thier five-game unbeaten sequence in Premier League, including two defeats and three stalemates. However, there is still no sign of improvements in traveling, explained by a three-game winless run with two defeats. The Toffees have registered only one victory in seven fixtures away from Goodison Park this season, enduring four defeats. A victory during the last matchday has distanced Everton from the relegation zone but are still battling in the fifteenth position.
