Results have been abysmal lately for Everton, who will be desperate to get a positive result in their upcoming fixture.

Arsenal keep target in sight.
Arsenal will be out to extend their fine run of results lately. It is all or nothing with Arsenal at the moment and sadly for them it has been more "nothing" than "all".

Their latest encounter once again had them on the losing side when they lost 3-2 against Manchester United.
It has the look of an equal match up in theory, Arsenal, however, still represent slightly better value in our opinion than Everton.
