Everton scores late to beat Arsenal 2-1 in Premier League

The Gunners come into this match on the back of three straight wins in the league and an unbeaten run that goes back 14 games, since their 4-3 defeat to Liverpool. The Chilean was alone among their attacking starters in performing near his potential and Mesut Ozil had an off day. He’s had a fantastic career and a decent wage for the last 10 years.

“That is of course, much more linked with that [being mentally strong]”. However, an Arsenal side led by the brilliantly in-form Alexis Sanchez provides the biggest test yet for Koeman’s men.

“I have been there enough times in my career and it’s a hard place to win, even though they are not playing well”.

It might be a different team, but Koeman has had Wenger and Arsenal in trouble on a number of occasions in the past, and if the Dutchman can take that form at Everton as well, the home team will be able to break the dismal run they are in at the moment.

Arsenal manager Wenger said the game had been “very physical”.

Ronald Koeman has claimed that his Everton squad is not presently able to match the physicality displayed by other teams in the Premier League.

On whom else Koeman should rely on along with Lukaku?

Everton took its first lead through Williams, the summer signing from Swansea City, as he headed Ross Barkley’s corner kick down and past Petr Cech.

He also believes that Everton upped their physicality, making the match more of a cup tie.

However, he would do well to focus on the here and now for Everton – an in-form, unsafe Arsenal.

If you haven’t heard what Podolski’s been up to, there are no words – here it is.

They weren’t entirely convincing here – both were among the culprits in yellow giving the ball away too often – but it would now rank as something of a surprise if Wenger was to change that pairing at the Etihad Stadium this weekend.

The Gunners will welcome back Hector Bellerin to the starting line-up while Gabriel will slot in at centre-back alongside Laurent Koscielny.

Ramsey also has a short-term hamstring problem, while Cazorla (Achilles), Per Mertesacker (knee), Danny Welbeck (knee) and Mathieu Debuchy (hamstring) will all be out until 2017. You can not lose the game like that. Now they could be six adrift of Chelsea after Wednesday’s games.

FC’s Craig Burley explains why Arsenal’s defeat at Everton isn’t a major disaster for the Gunners.

The wise bettor will count on an Arsenal victory and it should be the kind of night that sees multiple goals.

Arsenal will look to continue their form for the season as they visit Everton at Goodison Park on December 13 as part of Week 16 of the English Premier League season.
