This is a tricky fixture for Arsenal as it is a side massively under-confident but with an urge to turn things around.
However, we expect them to win this one as they have performed well irrespective of recent results.
A loss for Everton could signal the end of Benitez as their manager and with the way they have played, the writing seems to be on the wall.
Players to watch out for: Doucouré, Gray, Martinelli and Lacazette.
