Loss Premier League: Everton 1 - 0 Arsenal | Saturday 4th, February | KO: 12:30 GMT| BT Sport

This should be relatively straightforward, the new manager bounce not withstanding.

The starting xi picks itself, unless Partey is not fit enough to start and Lokonga takes his place.

Catastrophic transfer window for Everton really. Shunned by all and sundry and losing an important asset. We really ought to beat this lot. They'll be well up for it, but our quality should see this through....should...

Don't worry, we'll win. More worried about injuries, they gut a bunch of orcs like that idiot Godfrey. Don't forget Maupay.

 

[SuperGoon]

Their morale is pretty low. If we play seriously and score early I see it being 3-0.

Otherwise I'd take a dodgy 1-0 win.

 

[dashsnow17]

It’s gonna be a very tough game. Yeah they’re a toxic mess right now but it’s at their ground and the only thing Dyche will be doing this week is drilling the team to not get beat.

 

[Taneruit]

Considering we don't know Partey's current status, there's actually a not zero chance we see Jorginho on Saturday, so as to not rush Partey back.

 

[Goonger]

Lets make Dyche's first game, as enjoyable as we made Koeman's last...



...state of Cech on their 2nd, good thing we are past the days of Chelsea cast offs eh!?

I'm sure that's the last time we beat them at their ground. 3 defeats and a draw in our last 4 games there, and they've been dug ****e all that time.
We certainly owe them 1 there. Go all out, strongest team and get the W.

This should be a routine win. We talk about new manager bounce, but I reckon the team want to win after losing on the Etihad.

 

[Nunowoolmez]

Looking forward to recommencing the title charge again after all the transfer shenanigans.

Anything other than 3 points here would be a massive failure. Hoping Trossard gets some minutes & Martinelli gets back on the scoresheet.

0-2. Eddie & Martinelli.

Any news on ESR? Not that I'd expect him to play any part in this game but man needs to get back in the squad allready.

Edit: i allready googled dumb mods

 

[TheGreatWright8]

I'm too lazy to look for myself, any news on ESR? Not that I'd expect him to play any part in this game but man needs to get back in the squad allready.

It maybe a good thing if he's out for that game as Everton would hack him to pieces.

If Arteta is telling Edu which players he wants and Edu is not getting them then that's Edu's f*cking fault. We have an extremely wealthy owner who seems to be willing to spend and yet for some reason, grillmaster can't get a deal over the line unless the player already knows Arteta, has a...

The last time we played at Highbury, Thierry was the star...but the last time we played in red and white at Highbury, a certain Dutchman made sure it was a special day...



..PS...

Edu putting Arteta on the floor for the first goal, is pretty funny with hindsight...especially after that Rangers v Arseal comp from 2003 came out, were Edu spent most of the game trying to break Mikel's leg too

There is & always will be only one Dennis Bergkamp!! And it is a privilege that he will always forever be associated with the Arsenal.

 

[lamby22]

Dyche will have them well up for the game, expecting a 'reducer' on Saka from one of their cloggers in the first few minutes.

We're due a win away at this lot. And we've done well at trickier away grounds than this but I'm still not confident. Mind you I wasn't confident against Sp**s so hopefully we get the same result.

 

[db10_therza]

They just had to spoil this wonderful stat with a picture of holding ffs

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

Not concerned about this fixture at all.

A new manager bounce is one thing but the gulf between the quality of players is huge.

Get an early goal and the Everton fans will turn toxic too, given how their transfer window panned out.

Everton 0 Arsenal 3

 

[bingobob]

Agree with the above. A fast start with an early goal is key here. The longer it stays nil nil the longer Dyche and co will feel confident their game plan is working and the more resolute they'll become. I want their game plan out the window in the first 20 minutes. Or even better force them to stick to it, 2 nil down worried about getting beat 4 or 5. See the game out as a training exercise.
