Arsenal host Everton in Premier League title race

Arsenal host Everton at the Emirates Stadium as the Gunners look to maintain their title challenge. Mikel Arteta's side come into the match less than 72 hours after a 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich in the Champions League, in which Declan Rice scored a late equaliser to preserve their unbeaten start to the league phase. A victory would keep Arsenal level on points with Manchester City, though they would need to win by seven goals to leapfrog the leaders into top spot.

Bukayo Saka was forced off after ten minutes in Germany with a quad injury, which could see Arteta rotate his side given the tight turnaround. Arsenal have won their five previous home matches in all competitions this season.

Everton are looking to bounce back after their first defeat of the season, a 2-0 loss to Chelsea last weekend. They have never won at the Emirates Stadium in front of fans. David Moyes' side have drawn three away matches this season against Bournemouth, Tottenham and Hull, and will be looking to convert one of those results into a win. Everton have been boosted by the return from injury of Vitaliy Mykolenko.
