Everton – Arsenal: match preview | Premier league



[ad_1]

Carlo Ancelotti and Mikel Arteta were appointed to their current roles almost exactly a year ago, just before a goalless draw between Everton and Arsenal at Goodison Park, indeed, but only the coach who has already achieved FA Cup success will is under pressure. The visitors have had their worst start to the season in the top flight in 46 years and are winless in six games, while the hosts are two points behind second after consecutive wins and clean sheets against Chelsea and Leicester. Allan’s absence with a hamstring injury could be a huge loss for Everton. Andy Hunter
