It’s Premier League match time on Sunday when Arsenal travel to Goodison Park for an early kick off against Everton.
Jermaine Beckford’s late equaliser saved Everton the blushes against Bolton in match week twelve. While the Toffees are playing an organized game with neat passing, they have lacked the finishing touch this season, failing to score after doing all the hard work to set up a goal.
The Gunners’ most recent visit to Goodison Park last season ended in a 6-1 annihilation of the hosts. This year is likely to be a lot different with Everton running into form, not having lost in their last seven games.
That said, Arsene Wenger’s charges did not do their title aspirations any harm when they came from behind to register a 2-1 win over Wolves, in midweek. Arsenal have had a weakness between the posts, recently. But not on Wednesday, though, with Fabiansky having arguably his best day in the office this season. Their forwards are finding their rhythm and Rosicky’s equaliser against Wolves gives the squad an additional striking option.
Ahead of the game, Everton have some injury concerns. Anichebe, Barkley and Osman continue to be sidelined while Fellaini is due to miss the match as he is serving a three-match suspension owing to a red card received in the Bolton game.
Heitinga who missed the match against the Trotters on Wednesday owing to a knee injury is back to match fitness and is likely to feature against Arsenal. Rodwell, whose ankle injury kept him on the bench as a substitute, for three matches, has also recovered fully, and is likely to find a place in the starting eleven for the Toffees.
For Arsenal, Kieran Gibbs is set to return, while Almunia’s elbow, Diaby’s ankle and Vermaelen’s Achilles problems will keep said players out of Sunday’s game. Aaron Ramsey has not recovered fully from a broken leg and is set to sit out the match.
Koscielny serving a red card suspension will also be missing. Wenger could opt for Nasri and Walcoitt in his starting eleven, with both men having missed out in the game against Wolves.
Everton had the following players in their starting eleven against on: Howard, Neville, Distin, Jagielka, Baines, Bilyaletdinov, Fellaini, Cahill, Arteta, Pienaar and Saha; Coleman, Beckford and Yakubu came in as substitutes.
Arsenal’s starting eleven in the game against Wolves comprised Fabiansky, Sagna, Koscielny, Squillaci, Wilshere, Fabregas, Clichy, Song, Nasri, Walcott and Chamakh; Denilson, Nasri and Bendtner were used as substitutes.
