Arsenal are looking to further their lead at the top of the Premier League as they welcome Everton, and you can follow it all with ESPN.
Today’s hosts were last in action midweek — as they were held by Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of their last-16 tie, with Kai Havertz scoring a late penalty against his former club.
Eighth-placed Everton haven’t played since a 2-0 win over Burnley on March 3, with James Tarkowski and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall delivering the goals. A 12-day gap should mean today’s guests are well-rested.
It’s by no means just a chance to stifle Arsenal’s title charge — as David Moyes’ men are just one point behind Brentford, and five shy of Chelsea and Liverpool, with European football still in the realms of possibility.
But the hosts will know that with Manchester City playing on Saturday evening vs West Ham, they could send a message of being 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League by kickoff.
It’s set to be an intriguing one at the Emirates.
