Three things to watch for in Everton clash v Arsenal
Two avoidable defensive errors cost Everton their first Premier League win in five against Tottenham last week.
Michael Keane and Mason Holgate were both culpable in both instances, presenting Harry Kane with two open chances to smash home for Spurs.
Gylfi Sigurdsson had a brace of his own against his former side in Jose Mourinho’s final game as Tottenham manager, but it wasn’t enough to seal three points for the Blues.
Ahead of Everton’s clash with Arsenal on Friday, we at Goodison News have picked out three things that fans should watch out for in this upcoming encounter.
Timely return
Everton played some attractive attacking football against Tottenham last week and though they managed to score twice they desperately missed their leading goalscorer.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is set to return to action against the Gunners, boosting Carlo Ancelotti’s options in the crucial Premier League fixture.
Defensive assurance
Seamus Coleman has been in and out of the starting line-up over the past few months, but his recent performances have cemented him as someone who should start for Everton.
His influence was immediately felt against Tottenham when he assisted Sigurdsson’s second, and he should be relied upon to start against Arsenal.
More magic from midfield maestro
Rodriguez possibly put on his best performance in an Everton shirt against Arsenal, impressing with a fine array of passes and positive attacking movements.
We want to see more of that against Arsenal and, with hopefully some adequate support around him, it could lead to plenty more goals for the Toffees.
In other Everton news, an ‘outstanding’ star is keen on signing for Everton as Marcel Brands is given price to seal big deal.
