Arsenal host Everton in a tough league game tomorrow. With that said, we want to focus on five key talking points ahead of this game....CONTINUE READING
1. Revenge is on the menu at Arsenal
Arsenal would have secured five points but for a 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park earlier in the month. The defeat dealt a blow to Arsenal’s title hopes and almost demoralized them. ‘
After the game, they drew 1-1 with Brentford and lost to Manchester City, but beat Aston Villa and Leicester so the Gunners are back in the top flight.
The game will be played at the Emirates this time and the Gunners will likely add to Everton’s relegation woes after a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa in the previous game.
2. Eddie Nketiah is back
The Arsenal striker made a surprise appearance against Leicester City due to injury. He has returned to training and is expected to be able to play in this match, but the Englishman could face an uphill battle to regain his starting place after Trossard made an impact in his absence. Arteta will no doubt struggle with this decision.
3. Fight between Saliba and Gabriel
There was concern over the altercation between Saliba and Gabriel last weekend, but Aretha has calmed fans’ nerves ahead of tomorrow’s match.
The Arsenal manager saw the incident as just two players arguing with each other. Gabriel and Saliba have formed an impressive defensive partnership at Arsenal and a disagreement between them could now break their bond and make Arsenal lose the game.
4. Will Gabriel Jesus be able to play this game as he resumes training?
Gabriel Jesus has fully recovered and did not play in this match. He has returned to training but the club believe he will be ready for next month’s international break.
