Everton: 3 Reasons why the Toffees are the favourites to beat Arsenal
Everton welcome Arsenal at Goodison Park.
Everton will hope to continue their fantastic run of form against an out of form Arsenal side, Mikel Arteta’s men currently sit in 15th in the Premier League table with their key man Pierre Emerick Aubameyang only hitting three goals so far in the first 13 games of the campaign.
This lack of goalscoring threat has been a problem for the Gunners all season with them scoring 2 or more goals, in the league, only three times this season, which is an awful tally for a team who want to be pushing for the European spots.
It’s hard to call Arteta a failure, the 38-year old is extremely young for a manager and has been an assistant to Pep Guardiola, so the Spaniard clearly has the tools to be successful and he showed it until the start of this season, winning an FA Cup and Community Shield which you can argue filled Arsenal fans with false hope.
