Match Thread Everton v Arsenal - Preview, Match Report and MotM Poll

[Stanley Parker]

Arsenal are undefeated in their last 6 matches and have scored in each of their last 9 matches. Their League form is second only to Manchester City.

Their home form is good. Home games have produced 70% of Arsenal's points and 60% of their goals so far this season in the league. Arsenal have won their last 10 home matches. They are undefeated in their last 16 home matches. Arsenal have scored 2 goals or more in each of their last 8 home matches and have scored in each of their last 16 home matches. Arsenal have scored in 94% of their home matches.

But away form is less impressive - lost 5-1 at Anfield. Arsenal have conceded at least 1 goal in each of their last 14 away matches but have scored in 93% of their away matches.

Of their seven remaining League games, only two are at home, so looks like a challenge for Arsenal to finish in the top four, though they will still be trying. And they are home to Napoli in the Europa League in midweek after our game too. They are far more consistent than we are. It should be a good game.

Did ramsey limp off?

he went off injured, wouldn't say limped though

probably just precautionary for the europa

 

[Goat]

just get at these, can beat these especially with Napoli on Thursday for them

They play Napoli next week.

 

[Stanley Parker]

Aaron Ramsey scored the opener before going off in the 67th minute with what Emery described as a "small injury".

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Based on the last couple of weeks this should be a good game with Everton coming out on top 2-1.
Based on the last 30 years I'd say this will be a 4-1 upending of our promising late season rally.

If it wasnt for a sticky period towards the end of the last year, they would be out on there own at 3rd, Chelsea was a good result because they are top 6 but this one would be a massive win if we can pull it off.

6-1 win to bring back memories of 85.

Out the top 6 Arsenal always seem to be one we don’t play particularly well against. They are fighting for top 4. This will be very tough but will show us whether Silva has managed to turn things around.

 

[Tipp blue]

It would be Everton that to be basically hopeless for a large chunk of the season have nothing to play for come March then start getting results when it's too late with the most difficult run in of any team. If we had played for most of the season like we did second half v Chelsea and the west ham game we'd likely be pushing top 4.

 

[witchdoc187]

Never seem to play well against the Arse.

That 3-0 game last one I remember. Though our performance at their place this season was good in comparison to previous years. There was one when pienaar did a chip in the snow. One of my favourite goals ever. Still couldn't hold on. Andy Jonson late winner in the snow and kanchelskis winner at Highbury. That's it in the 40 years of my memory

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

We need to be more clinical with the chances we get because Arsenal will get plenty of their own against us.
