Everton preview: Narrowly lost at Anfield
The Toffees put in a decent effort in the second Merseyside Derby of the season at Anfield in midweek but still ended up losing the game 1-0.
Everton thought they had opened the scoring in the first half but the goal was eventually ruled out for offside with the assistance of VAR, and Liverpool scored shortly before the hour mark to pinch all three points.
Orel Mangala, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Dwight McNeil make up the trio of players that could miss the Arsenal game this weekend through injury, though, McNeil is back in training now.
Predicted lineup: Pickford (GK), Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Branthwaite, O'Brien, Gueye, Doucoure, Garner, Ndiaye, Harrison & Beto

Arsenal preview: Edged past Fulham
Mikel Merino was on target once again for the Gunners in midweek as Mikel Arteta's side ran out 2-1 winners at the Emirates Stadium.
The makeshift Spanish striker opened the scoring in the 37th minute and second-half substitute Bukayo Saka made it 2-0 in the 73rd minute. Fulham pulled a goal back deep into stoppage time but the result had already been decided by that point.
Gabriel Jesus, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Kai Havertz, Riccardo Calafiori and Ben White could be joined on the sidelines by Gabriel Magalhaes after the Brazilian picked up an injury against Fulham.
Predicted lineup: Raya (GK), Kiwior, Timber, Saliba, Partey, Odegaard, Merino, Rice, Lewis-Skelly, Saka & Martinelli

Player to watch: Mikel Merino
Spanish midfielder-turned striker Mikel Merino scored his sixth league goal of the campaign in midweek as Arsenal beat Fulham 2-1.
The former Real Sociedad man, who had never scored more than five league goals in a single campaign before, has impressed for the Gunners when forced to play up-front due to injuries.
The midfielder, turned striker, is thriving under Arteta
We're backing Merino to put in another important performance for Arsenal this weekend in a game the Gunners can't really afford to drop points in.
