Arsenal will be eager to maintain their dominance at the top of the Premier League table when they welcome relegation-threatened Everton to the Emirates Stadium. This Wednesday night contest will also provide an opportunity for the Gunners to get revenge at the Toffees for beating them in the reverse fixture. Not long ago when these two sides met at Goodison Park, Everton shocked league leaders Arsenal 1-0. Few weeks later, the Gunners will be keen to get one over the struggling visitors.
That defeat to Everton was the beginning of a difficult phase for Arsenal. In that process, they also temporarily relinquished their lead at the top of the standings. However, Mikel Arteta’s side have responded well to that blip with back-to-back away victories over Aston Villa and Leicester City. Those two important wins have helped them to reclaim the top spot in the table, something which they would be keen to maintain on Wednesday night.
On the other hand, Everton’s latest defeat to Aston Villa has put them in big trouble. With the other results also going against them, the Toffees slipped back into the dreaded relegation zone. As things stand, Everton have 21 points from 24 games to be placed 18 in the Premier League table. On the other hand, Arsenal have 57 points from 24 matches to sit atop the table and also stay two points ahead of second-placed Manchester City.
