The 2021-22 season comes to a close and in the final round of the Premier League, Everton face Arsenal at the Emirates stadium. The Toffees emphatically secured Premier League safety with their magical win over Crystal Palace that saw the crowd jump off their seat and celebrate like there’s no tomorrow.
The Royal Blues go into the final game of the season feeling no pressure, allowing the players to be a bit more relaxed and allowing Frank Lampard to make rotations in the squad, giving those players game time that haven’t played much this season.
For Arsenal, the game holds all the importance as they need to win and hope that Norwich City somehow scrambles a win against Tottenham Hotspur or else their top four hopes will be dead.
Arsenal will be without Takehiro Tomiyasu who suffered an injury at St James’ Park in the previous game. Rob Holding will also return after serving his one match suspension. As for the Toffees, Salomon Rondon and Jarrad Branthwaite remain suspended. Yerry Mina, Fabian Delph, Nathan Patterson and Andros Townsend remain long term absentees.
For players like Cenk Tosun and Jonjoe Kenny, this could be their final outing in the royal blue shirt. With the Toffees now safe, Lampard can give them some minutes so they can finish their time at Goodison on the right note.
