Everton will take on Arsenal at the Goodison Park on Monday aiming to end their 8 game winless run in the Premier League. After a promising start to their league campaign, Everton currently find themselves 15th in the table edging closer to the relegation spots. The humiliating defeat against arch-rivals Liverpool in the midweek will do no good to their confidence as they face 5th placed Arsenal. Rafael Benitez will hope to turn things around quickly and get back to winning ways on Monday.

Coming back from a defeat defeat against Manchester United, the Gunners will be hoping to bounce back with a win against the Toffees. With the chasing pack very close by, Mikel Arteta will be aware of the fact that any drop points from now onwards will be costly in terms of league positions for the Gunners. Arsenal will be aiming for nothing less than 3 points on Monday if they have to keep fighting for a top 4 place in the Premier League.

Talking Tactics

Rafael Benitez is expected to go with a 4-4-2 formation with the likes of Richarlison and Anthony Gordon leading the Everton frontline. The midfield pair of Allan and Doucoure will be key to Benitez’s gameplan as they will look to dominate Arsenal’s young midfielders. The Everton players will need to work hard off the ball as Arsenal will look to dominate possession and at the same time release their pacy players to run behind the Everton defence.

Mikel Arteta will opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation with his fast-paced young players like Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith-Rowe and Gabriel Martinelli upfront. Arsenal will look to put early pressure on the Toffees and keep hold of the ball as much as possible to frustrate them and have the patience to open up their defence.
