Arsenal find themselves in a position where a win over Everton on Wednesday can give them a considerable lead over Manchester City, so let’s take a look at the latest team news.
The Gunners got their title challenge back on track with a couple of crucial away wins over Aston Villa and Leicester City. And now, they play their game in hand which can put them five points clear of City and that seemed quite unlikely just a couple of weeks ago.
There are a couple of players who are definitely out, and they are Gabriel Jesus and Mohamed Elneny. There is some good news with regards to the Brazilian who should be back in action sooner rather than later.
After making his return to action at Leicester, Thomas Partey could be in line to start on Wednesday and that should give Mikel Arteta a big boost. We could also get to see Emile Smith Rowe in action as he is getting back to full fitness following a much needed surgery.
Arsenal Fever View:
The north Londoners suffered their second defeat of the season as they lost to Everton at the start of the month. So, we can assume that this is not going to be an easy one as well. Sean Dyche likes his teams to be physical and play with a lot of intensity and that should make things a little harder for the Gunners.
As for the hosts, the key in getting the win lies in how well they can involve Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli. The latter in particular looked very isolated the last time these two teams met. If that problem can be solved, it should give the league leaders a much better chance of winning.
Arteta would be aware of what kind of game his players are going to have to play. When a defence is so well organized, you need some invention to break them down. The Spaniard will be hoping that one of his stars can bring that.
Arsenal and the quest for a Premier League title is getting closer than ever before and it is important to get as many wins as possible. It doesn’t matter how you get them as long as the points are on the board.
