Arsenal will be looking for their fourth-straight Premier League win when they host Everton. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the match, starting from 1am AEST.
It was a rough start to the season for Arsenal, having to face Manchester City and Chelsea in their first two fixtures.
The Gunners were overrun by City, but should have got a result in the 3-2 loss at Stamford Bridge.
Unai Emery’s men however have come back firing, winning their last four competitive games.
Although the same old problems remain at the club, they are dangerous going forward and shaky at the back, having yet to keep a clean sheet all season.
After dominating Newcastle United away from home they suffered a late goal, while in the Europa League they were up against Vorskla Poltava 4-nil before letting to two late goals after defensive errors.
Lucas Torreira and new keeper Berdt Leno made their first starts against Vorskla and Leno looked more comfortable playing the ball out from the back than Cech has done in the Premier League.
Still, the Gunners are getting results and it’s the games away from home that people have their eyes on.
Last season their away form was amongst the relegated teams. This year they’ve already won two.
Meanwhile Everton are chasing their second win of the season after a hard loss to West Ham United.
It’s already been an eventful season for the Toffees, playing out thrillers against Wolverhampton Wanderers and Bournemouth while getting red cards.
But the real story for Everton is that of Richarlison.
The Brazilian cost more than $60 million, and he was received with criticism by the media.
However, he’s since proven to be Everton’s most important player, scoring and linking up play better than anyone else they have in that squad.
Prediction
The Premier League fixture between Arsenal and Everton produces more goals than any other game. Last season’s two games produced 13 goals, and 10 of those were scored by the Gunners.
Everton can get at Arsenal’s defence and we could be in for a high-scoring affair. However, the result should go in the Gunners’ favour.
Arsenal 4 – 2 Everton

Arsenal have their first clean sheet of the season and have won their last four Premier League games. It wasn't easy, and they were fortunate, but they'll take. That's five on the bounce for Unai Emery's men in all competitions. For Everton, they will look at this as a chance for a point dropped. They still haven't beaten Arsenal away from home in 22 years.

90+5' - Arsenal clear and break on the counter. Welbeck goes left when he should have got right and the chance is squandered, but it doesn't matter. The referee blows for full time.
