Arsenal will be seeking their fourth win of the 23/24 Premier League season when they take on Everton this weekend. The Gunners ran close in the title race last year, but a downturn in form towards the end of the campaign saw them finish five points adrift of top spot. Once again, the early signs are good, if they can maintain the stomach for the fight.

Dwight McNeil starts for Everton, with summer signing Beto continuing at centre-forward.
Arsenal were not completely convincing in their victories over Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, after which they were held to a draw at home to Fulham. But they claimed their first big scalp of the season before the international break, beating Manchester United 3-1 at the Emirates.Arsenal were not completely convincing in their victories over Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, after which they were held to a draw at home to Fulham.

Everton are struggling at the other end of the table. Of a possible 12 points so far this term, they have picked up just one. There were a few promising signs in the 2-2 draw with Sheffield Utd last time out, yet Everton still needed a world-class double save from Jordan Pickford late on to avoid defeat.
Much has been made of Everton's lack of attacking firepower, but they are struggling in defense even more. Only Luton, Fulham and Burnley have conceded more goals so far this season, leaving Sean Dyche with plenty of work to do. Everton won this fixture last term, though, which gives them some hope for Sunday's showdown, as may the news of their prospective new owners.
