Another brilliant win against Newcastle to keep our great run of form going in the league. Getting 4 wins in a row against Sunderland (A), Tottenham, Liverpool (A) and Newcastle is a great achievement... this is going to be another tough game unfortunately, but I believe we can do it. All we need to do is go behind, then we can come back and win.

Tough fixture, but with this run I can see us winning.

The Ox to score!

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Oh my such a hard away game everton at home really strong they beat chelsea Sp**s and man city and they in good run, and of course they will be not scared when they face us, but for us also we in very good morale 5 wins in row i hope we win there.

Chesney

Sagna Kosh Tv5 Gibbs/Santos

Song Arteta

Walcott Rozza Aoc/Gervinho

rvp

1-1 or 2-1 to the arsenal.

What took you so long this time, boyo? You'll have to carry on with these until our luck runs out, I reckon. :wink:

Hopefully someone will have had a word in Gibbs' ear about his woeful positioning, but then I'd hoped that would happen after the Milan game tbh, where he was guilty of exactly the same. I don't fancy either defensively, but Santos is the better footballer and more likely to bring the best out of others IMO. Difficult decision to make there, but I feel Wenger will want Gibbs to continue, if just to see how many games he can go without breaking down!

I can only see a win up there.

 

[AnthonyG]

Not sure I'm quite as confident - I can see a draw for sure.

Everton are coming right at the wrong time. Unbeaten in 9, they have won their last 5 at home in all comps, including PL wins over Spuds, Chelsea, and ManC.

It'll be interesting to see how they fare in their derby.

I can't see this being a high scoring game tbh. Everton don't give much away but don't score much too.

 

[Jury]

I'd rather they went in full of confidence against us tbh. I hate playing teams after they've struggled, and I hope they beat 'pool and play us on a high. They look really one paced and petrified of Sp**s on Sunday. I liked what I saw.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

yeah everton just score 28 goals this season. the 2nd worst attack in PL this year.

If you put a bookies' gun to my head, I'd back us for the win. I just wouldn't surprised if we struggled. My nervousness probably has something to do with having to listen to my brother who's an EFC fan.

 

[Jury]

Ha, there's a lot on the line there. I understand.

 

[USArsenal]

Everton will be quite tired by this game.. they have 2 other games before playing against us. neither of which will be easy for them (Pool at Anfield and v. Sunderland)

I know I was scared someone else was going to make the matchday thread. We're gonna keep rolling with you Ferrari *touch wood* lets hope the teams keeps it up.




Team picks itself other than maybe Santos for Gibbs but we're on a run with the current team selection to I saw keep it up.

----Szczseny

Sagna-Kos-TV-Gibbs(Santos?)

--Song--Arteta
---Rosicky
Theo-RVP-Ox

Lets get another 3 points and keep the pressure on Sp**s and look to lock up 3rd.

 

[kopzilla]

We have got to put away our chances early on....and not cause nervous breakdowns for the fans.

 

[GDeep™]

We will be fresher which could prove vital late in the game, expecting a win.

 

[kopzilla]

So many late winners...

1-2 win Vs Norwich

1-2 win Vs Liverpool

1-2 win Vs Villa

1-2 win Vs Sunderland

2-1 win Vs Newcastle


It'll probably be 1-2 or 0-1 to us?

 

[Gunner_JT]

Everton usually play much better later in the season and they're doing it again, expect a really tough encounter.

 

[quattro]

they're going to be sapped with a merseyside derby and an fa cup tie before this. for all of everton's qualities squad depth probably isn't one of them.

 

[mo50]

I believe Everton play 2 games before this fixture, and we get a 9 day rest. That could prove to be vital. This will be a tough game but I can't see anything other than a victory for us here.

 

[redanddread]

Thankfully unlike our opponents we'll have a nice restive weekend!!

This will be a toughie for sure but by the time we will play them Everton will have had two very tough games, away to Liverpool & at home to Sunderland. Hopefully our well rested, confident and very fit looking squad will do what we normally do to Everton and beat them.

Can't quite see a 3-2 win but 2-1 is definitely a possibility. RVP to score of course but would love to see Theo/Gervinho/Ox get on the score sheet. Can see us scoring from set piece here also.

At least we go into this game on a hell of a win streak.

 

[AnthonyG]

Hang on a minute ... don't Everton play twice before our game?
