Arsenal have 50 points from 19 games to have a five-point cushion over second-placed Manchester City at the top of the table.
Arsenal will hope to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League standings when they travel to Everton on Saturday. The contest at Goodison Park will be an interesting one for different reasons. Being the table toppers Arsenal will undoubtedly be the favourites to get the maximum points from this fixture. Besides, Everton’s recent form and position in the table should ideally make the Gunners the favourites in this contest. Having said that, things might take an interesting turn at Goodison Park from now on.
Everton will begin a new life under their newly-appointed manager Sean Dyche. Their poor run of form in recent weeks has cost the job for Frank Lampard at the helm of Everton. He was replaced by Dyche to help the club climb out of the dreaded relegation zone. Dyche has enormous experience of helping his previous outfit Burnley avoid relegation and maintain their Premier League status for a good period of time. Now, Everton faithful would hope that he will be able to bring forward that mentality to Goodison Park.
However, it will not be an easy task for the new manager, particularly against an in-form Arsenal side. As things stand, Arsenal have 50 points from 19 games to have a five-point cushion over second-placed Manchester City at the top of the table. The Gunners have lost only once in the league all season. Meanwhile, Everton are lying at the opposite end of the standings and are in real danger of getting relegated. They are placed 19th in the table after managing just 15 points from 20 matches.
