The pressure will be on Arsenal this weekend, as they look to get their Premier League title challenge back on track.
Mikel Arteta’s side spurned a glorious chance to close the gap on Liverpool at the summit last weekend after drawing 1-1 at Fulham. That means that the gap at the top stands at six points, with the Reds having played a game less.
Everton should be fresh ahead of this trip to the Emirates, as the Merseyside derby was called off last weekend due to weather conditions. Despite that, the Toffees will be huge outsiders in the betting on Saturday.

This is a must-win encounter for Arsenal this weekend if they are to lay down a challenge to Liverpool at the Premier League summit.
