In Saturday's Premier League match at the Emirates, Arsenal will try to defeat the Toffees for the 103rd time in the first division. Arsenal has defeated Everton more times than any other team in the history of the English top flight.

Sean Dyche's team has had more than a week to recover from their incredible 4-0 thumping of Wolverhampton Wanderers, while the Gunners return to top-flight action after hitting Monaco for three goals without a response in the Champions League.

Bukayo Saka turned his sadness into joy on Wednesday night. The Arsenal academy graduate had a direct hand in all three goals when Monaco visited in the Champions League, after having his last-minute winner disallowed in last weekend's 1-1 draw with Fulham.

Saka's brace and assist for Kai Havertz helped Arsenal defeat Monaco, who made a lot of mistakes and were lucky not to fall behind three or four goals in the first half. Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard both wasted great chances to score.

Arsenal, who scored all three of their goals from open play on Wednesday, is now on the verge of automatic last-16 qualification. However, they still need to correct some mistakes in the Premier League after their momentum flatlined at Craven Cottage, dropping them to third place in the standings, six points behind Liverpool with one more game played.

After the fifth stalemate of the season, some gloomy Gooners may already be writing off their team's chances of winning the title, but the battle for glory is far from over, and Arsenal has so far this season proven to be unbeatable at their Emirates base.

In fact, Arsenal's victory over Monaco on Wednesday was their third consecutive home victory in which they have scored multiple goals and maintained a clean sheet. Their 81% win rate in 2024 Premier League home games is their highest since they won 84% of those games in 2007.

Everton and Liverpool's final top-flight derby at Goodison Park was postponed to a later date, which was undoubtedly more inconvenient for the Toffees than the Reds. It was the only Premier League game to be affected by the devastating Storm Darragh last weekend.

On a day when Ashley Young scored a spectacular free kick and Craig Dawson twice turned the ball into his own net, Dyche's team would have welcomed their local rivals to their headquarters after destroying relegation-threatened Wolves 4-0.

With one game remaining, the 15th-place Toffees lead 18th-place Ipswich Town by five points; however, the Tractor Boys are, ironically, the only team Everton has defeated away from home in 2024; they haven't been able to break through the defenses of Southampton, West Ham United, or Manchester United since.

Additionally, Everton has now lost three of their last five Premier League games against Arsenal, despite winning four of those games between December 2020 and February 2023. However, Arsenal's 2-1 victory at home on the last day of the previous season was ultimately in vain.

Arsenal Team News

Thomas Partey and Jurrien Timber missed training on Tuesday, which seemed to worsen Arsenal's defensive injury crisis. However, both players were able to play against Monaco, with the former starting in his makeshift right-back position.

Ben White (knee), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), Oleksandr Zinchenko (muscle), Riccardo Calafiori (knee), and Gabriel Magalhaes (unspecified) did not participate; however, Arteta has stated that Gabriel is training once more and could make a comeback.

Myles Lewis-Skelly made a significant impression at left-back during the Monaco visit, and Timber was only considered for a substitute appearance. However, the Dutchman should replace his teenage colleague in one of the hosts' two changes.

Everton Team News

Everton's prolonged break has given Dyche and company more time to heal their wounded players, and defender Michael Keane is likely to return from a knee injury in time to play against the Gunners.

But Tim Iroegbunam (ankle), James Garner (back), and Chermiti (unspecified) are all anticipated to miss the trip to the Emirates, where Dyche won't need to change the starting lineup from the thumping of Wolves in the middle of the week.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has been rumored to be joining Arsenal in January, should however keep Beto at bay up front even though he has now gone ten games without scoring a goal in the Premier League.
