Arsenal welcome Everton to the Emirates this weekend as Unai Emery looks to continue his impressive start to the season as Gunners manager, while Marcos Silva will welcome Richarlison to the starting lineup and could give Yerry Mina his debut as well.
The Gunners have started to take Emery’s lesson to heart as their most recent displays have shown.
They come into this game having won their last four competitive games which includes three successive victories in the Premier League.
With Pierre Emerick Aubameyang beginning to discover his goal scoring touch, his strike partner, Alexandre Lacazette is also scoring his share of the goals when he is given his chance on the field.
Emery now appears to be on course to achieve some success in his first season at the Emirates, but Everton are going to be tough opponents.
One of Arsenal’s big problems remains defending well as they have already conceded 11 times in 6 games, even though they have netted 14 times.
Under Marcos Silva, Everton are playing some of the best football in the Premier League, and we should expect to see them attacking the Gunners right from the start in this game.
Everton aren’t the best of teams when it comes to defending as the Toffees have conceded 10 goals while scoring 11 and a first clean sheet of the season still eludes them.
They haven’t started their season as well as expected when they pursued the signature of Marcos Silva last season.
Everton have just one win, and although they have lost just one single game as well, they will be keen to get a result in this game.
Arsenal are strong odds-on favourites to come out on top in this game.
