Preview
Arsenal come into this after a 2-0 loss to Newcastle United away in their previous outing earlier this week; which dealt their top 4 hopes massively.
A positive result was key in that clash and the Gunners could not live up to the pressure. White’s own goal and Guimaraes’ late strike ensured successive defeats for Arsenal as they are now in 5th place on the table with 66 points.
They need Spurs to lose their last match if Arsenal are to enter the top 4 once again. However, that seems doubtful given their North London rivals play relegated Norwich.
On the other hand, Everton secured EPL safety this season after making a comeback from 2-0 down to beat Crystal Palace 3-2 at home earlier this week.
Keane, Richarlison and Calvert-Lewin scored in the second half to cancel out Mateta and Ayew’s first half efforts and seal a massive win.
The win keeps Everton in the EPL for another season as they are in 16th place with 39 points with the pressure off their heads.
Both sides last met earlier in December, where Everton won 2-1 at home.
