EPL | Everton (H) v Arsenal (A) | 13th December 2016 | 19:45 GMT | BT Sport

His everton team is not the same as his saints team. Their defence is shiite also

Lucas has no chance of playing this. Tough away ground, new in the team, Walcott has the knowhow and form, etc.

Right thing to do as well, Wenger always spot on these things. Will probably play one of the two home games later this month.

Lucas scored a CL hat-trick away from home and was voted MotM. Also he didnt play on Sat, Walcott did. Even if Lucas doesnt start, I think he will come on at some point.

Against one of the worst oppositions we'll face all season! My cousin scored against the blind school this weekend. Arsène should sign him up!

Wenger will have to rotate this week. He surely cannot play the same 11 in 3 straight games. One area he definitely rotates is the wide men. Theo & the Ox started against Stoke, so wouldn't be surprised to see Perez involved tomorrow

 

[NotAUserName]

Would also bring one of Elneny/Ramsey (if fit) for Coq.

 

[albakos]

Looking forward to Deulofeu tearing Monreal apart, while Lukaku bundles his way past Gabriel.
#not

On the other side, Alexis and Özil should have enough for us to win this game.

Same XI as v. Orcs

 

[Penn_]

Can see Xhaka being rested/rotated for this one, started last three game.

Would also bring in Gibbs and possibly Iwobi.

 

[Nyctophobia]

This match is giving me some bad vibes, feels very iffy.

It could be one of those...

'Arsenal one of the title favourites'

Everton v Arsenal (Tues, 19:45 GMT)

Posted at9:16
We were hearing from Everton boss Ronald Koeman earlier... a bit more for you...



The Dutchman says he sees the Toffees' opponents on Tuesday, Arsenal, as serious title contenders this season:

"This Arsenal is better than it was because I have the experience with Southampton to beat them several times. But this Arsenal is more in balance between defending and attack and in my opinion this season Arsenal is one of the favourites to win the title."

On the match itself, he says: "We know if we can keep a compact team, we can make it difficult."

Park that bus, Ronald.

It's an older team also.

Have you forgotten last time we went to Goodison? Gabriels best game in an Arsenal shirt. Did an excellent job with Lukaku, confident he will do it again. The lad is good.

 

[Hunta]

We've now got 8 players out for this game, the squad picks itself.

Cech
Bellerin Gabriel Koscielny Gibbs
Coquelin Xhaka
Walcott Özil Ox
Alexis

Ospina Holding Monreal Elneny Iwobi Lucas Giroud
​

Think Gibbs will come in for Monreal as Everton always seem to target Nacho and his lack of pace. Iwobi might come in for Ox too.

o Everton’s only win in their last 18 league games against Arsenal was their 3-0 victory in April 2014 (D6 L11).
o Arsenal have won more Premier League games against Everton (29) than they have against any other side.
o In fact, Everton have lost 93 times to Arsenal in the league, the most defeats by one club to another in English league history.
o A win for the Gunners at Goodison Park would make it their 12th in the Premier League there – only at Villa Park (12) have they obtained as many away wins at a single ground.
o Everton have conceded exactly two goals in each of their last four league games against Arsenal.
o Olivier Giroud has scored five goals in his last six games against Everton in all competitions.
o The Gunners haven’t lost on a Tuesday in the Premier League since February 2006 v Liverpool (W10 D7).

That first post is my type of positivity.

What a ridiculous thing to say!

 

[Lady_Gooner]

Hate playing teams looking for a reaction. You'd like to think we can kick them while they're down but it's always difficult to trust Arsenal

Jesus christ those stats screams for someone wanting to put things right.

1 in 3 goals conceded by Arsenal this season has been penalty. This is massively unfair. Only Hull city have given away more pens than Arsenal. Refs seem to be more eager to give penalties for any touch in the Arsenal box. The last 2 pens (Monreal and Xhaka) have been absolute jokes. Somehow, the pundits and 'ex refs' never see anything wrong with it, but will argue their brains out if same happened to any other top team.
