Two weeks with disappointing midweek defeats look to overturn their misfortunes as Arsenal travel to take on Everton. The match is scheduled for Monday at Goodison Park, with a kickoff at 11 pm.
The Toffees fell for another Meyerside Derby loss in a 4-1 defeat to Liverpool, whereas Arsenal handed Manchester United three points in a hotly contested 3-2 loss.
Reunited with former club Liverpool at the weekend, Rafael Benitez’s Everton were always likely to be up against it on the blue half of Merseyside.
The Toffees had drawn four consecutive games, but hope was raised in the preceding meeting between the clubs, which beleaguered Everton manager David Moyes dared to believe was a turning point.
The Toffees’ incredible winless streak in the Premier League stands at eight matches, despite a much-improved performance against Newcastle on Tuesday.
Rafael Benitez’s men will want to turn that around against a formidable Everton side that looks powerful going forward but still struggle defensively.
On the other hand, Manchester United’s 15th game against Arsenal ended in one of the most peculiar ways possible.
Smith Rowe’s goal made the headlines with Carrick’s reaction to it. It was evident that the Gunners lacked composure, and it would take a lot of time for them to emerge from their troubled times.
