Arsenal vs Everton: Preview, Predicted Lineups and Where to Watch

Beto

McNeil Dewsbury-Hall Ndiaye

Gana Garner

Mykolenko Branthwaite Tarkowski O'Brien

Pickford

Barry, Armstrong, Iroegbunam, Keane to possibly come on to shore up things. Arsenal will be nervous about playing us. if our forwards take whatever chances come their way, we could have a great contest.

Tarkowski and Keane will be the central pairing I think. That would be a bit of a blow.

He's a STH - travels up from Kent for every game - but can't get aways for love nor money this season.

Good blue and true!

Last night, he told me he's going instead because he wants to be there for every game in their Premier League-winning season. Prick.

I'll just have to keep the windows open to listen out for away end celebrations.

I still think we'll draw or win, they'll be leggy after Europe.

I only fear Trossard cheating to thwart us. I hope that the officials are not on their A-game.

A win would be incredible, especially for our manager, and the fans who are travelling to the Emirates Stadium.

All unsuccessful. Law of Averages?

The press have been talking us up all week, but for our great away form Arsenal would be a 1/5 shot.

They will be jittery there is no doubt that but the home crowd will be going mental, I expect the ref to favour them above us.

We keep getting results away, but as Tony says I think a draw would be a very good result.

They keep suprising me, and its really a shot to nothing for us.

"This could be the day," I thought. Then, the very next thought in my head was, "Nah, not with David Moyes sitting in the dugout." A couple of minutes later, City scored and it wasn't much later before they scored again.

Talk is cheap, but when I heard Moyes having a go at trigger happy Manchester United earlier in the season, it pricked my senses, and that same evening, Everton won at old Trafford with ten men.

It's about belief, it's obviously about ability, but it's also about belief, and this is where David Moyes, has way too often always fallen down, imo. His home record against the best teams isn't that bad...

When it comes to the away games, I often think that we would have had a bit more success if we never lacked belief, and a lot more success if we'd had a lot more ability.

Expect the usual set up from Moyes, no surprises in the line up.

Lets hope Beto gives Gabriel a hard time.

Conned the ref good and proper against Leverkusen.

11 vs 12 with the prick who’s refereeing.

It is clearly coached to them to play the 'grey area' of refereeing corner kicks.

They are kidding us before our very eyes and it is becoming unacceptable.

Never a penalty in a million years... and yet on Facebook many neutral fans, even Spurs fans, are saying it was soft but a penalty. The game's gone!

I'm beginning to hate it.

The whole "He felt the contact and was entitled to go down" shit is pathetic, it's nothing else but cheating.

Heard that one a few times from TV commentators

They shouldn't have a job as a professional commentator then!

It's horrible, it's completely inconsistent, and the perpetrators just move on to the next game or the VAR studio without having to open their mouths and explain anything, which doesn't make any sense whatsoever to me.

I love football, it was for a lot of my early years the only thing that genuinely mattered to me... and yet now I struggle to go in the other room and turn my telly on to watch a game of football because there is so much wrong with the sport nowadays.

I saw Liverpool were getting beat the other night so I turned the television on. Galatasary scored what I thought was a perfectly legitimate (scrappy) goal but VAR quickly intervened and the goal was struck off.

Very subjective; I know that in another game, even with the same officials, that next time that goal will probably be given. Yet nobody questions the legitimacy of the same officials making completely opposite decisions throughout the season, meaning we usually just all have a little moan and then everyone just gets on with it.

The other thing that frustrates me and takes away so much from the beautiful game is the amount of teams who are constantly trying to buy time, going down and breaking up play with every little foul, so I've started watching the little highlight clips of games instead.

So much better: I watched 3 minutes of PSG destroying Chelsea, and another 3 minutes watching Real Madrid, dismantling Man City. I saw some wonderful goals, fast aggressive counter-attacking football and more deft flicks in 6 minutes than I've seen at Bramley-Moore Dock all season.

So what, that doesn't matter because Everton are much better playing away from home! Let's just hope we are today!!!

Arsenal are very good in the press but Leverkusen overcame that with one-touch passing.

We can do the business defensively but can we do the one-touch passing? I think maybe we can but I expect some surprises when he names the starting 11.

“We've got a bit of confidence, we've been playing well in the last few games, so we can only go and try against who are probably the best team in the country at the moment,” Moyes said.

In spite of that praise, it was put to Moyes that Arsenal have only been successful because of their set-pieces and physicality, and he had a strong response to that claim.

“Well, what's up with any of those things?” Moyes responded. “You're making it sound as if that's a problem, because they're good at set-pieces, and they're a strong, physical side. I don't see any problem with any of that, it's part of the game.

“I would hate to be going to football matches all the time and seeing football played the one way. I want teams to play different styles, I want them to play different ways.

“We've got some unbelievable managers, Mikel is one of them, who have come into this country and shown us what they can do, but maybe they can't really stay with it and do it all the time. So you can bring something in, but you've got to have something which is going to work.

“Mikel's been able to evolve his team and move it on, and he's certainly got a very good team at the moment.”

I see they claim that "Arsenal won't be helped by having played an intense Champions League fixture against Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday, whilst Everton haven't had a match for 11 days now. The away side should come into the contest fresher..." --- I'm sure we've been here before!

😁 He's even convinced himself.

The manager sounds like he’s up for it so hopefully he’s infusing the players with steely determination and some derring-do!

The law of averages doesn’t apply when the specifics of each contest are different every time. Best way to approach thiis game must be seeking to jolt Arsenal out of their comfort zone. Plenty of their fans seem paranoid they will bottle it (again) this season so the Emirates could turn into a maelstrom of negativity for them if we get a goal early on.

Even chance of any result in most Prem fixtures these days. Very much depends on consistency of play. Come on Davey, let’s look to put down some markers in this game by really going for the three points.

Come on you irrepressible Blues!

Come on Dave, you ginger gangster, go for it.
