Everton Preview & Form
Everton has been on an impressive run of form since the return of David Moyes at Goodison Park, but the Toffees will feel the heartbreak after a narrow 1-0 defeat away to their rivals, Liverpool, on Wednesday night in the Merseyside derby. The defeat at Anfield ended their nine-game unbeaten run, during which they had won four and drawn five matches to pull themselves away from relegation danger. David Moyes's defense has conceded at least a goal in each of their last ten Premier League games. Currently, they sit 15th in the Premier League standings with 34 points from 30 games, 10 points behind the mid-table.
David Moyes's side will hope a return to Goodison Park may provide them with a positive spark, as the Toffees are unbeaten at home in their last five league games, beating Tottenham Hotspur and Leicester City.
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal took another huge step in their hope of breaking their long-awaited Premier League trophy drought as the Gunners claimed an impressive 2-1 victory over Fulham at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night, thanks to an incredible performance from Bukayo Saka, who returned to the team from injury. The midweek result extended their unbeaten run to six games in all competitions, winning three and playing three draws. Mikel Arteta's side keeps the pressure on league leader Liverpool with back to back London derby wins against Fulham and Chelsea. Currently, they sit second in the Premier League with 61 points from 30 games, 12 points behind leaders Liverpool with just eight matches remaining.
Mikel Arteta's side are currently struggling with their recent away games, having failed to win any of their last two away league games, drawing against Manchester United and Nottingham Forest. Gabriel Magalhaes has sustained a hamstring injury which requires surgery.
