Most recent H2Hs: Advantage Arsenal
Arsenal have the better of the recent H2Hs, with the Gunners unbeaten across their last five matches against the Toffees (three wins, two draws). Those two draws did come in both of the matches they played against each other last season, though, which should give Everton some confidence.

Arsenal preview: A long injury list
Arsenal have the deepest squad in the division, and they are making full use of it this weekend. Ben White is the latest defender to go down, but Riccardo Calafiori is back in a big boost for Mikel Arteta. White joins Cristhian Mosquera, Gabriel, Kai Havertz and Max Dowman in the treatment room.
Predicted lineup: Raya (GK), Timber, Saliba, Hincapie, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Odegaard, Rice, Saka, Gyokeres, Trossard
Last five results
- Arsenal 2-1 Wolves
- Club Brugge 0-3 Arsenal
- Aston Villa 2-1 Arsenal
- Arsenal 2-0 Brentford
- Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal
Player to watch: Viktor Gyokeres
While he deserves some grace after being out for three weeks with an injury last month, the signing of Viktor Gyokeres has not gone to plan so far. The big Swede, who scored more than 50 goals for Sporting Lisbon in all competitions last season, is on just six in all competitions so far for the Gunners.
