Everton’s season is deteriorating. The Toffees have also lost three consecutive games leading up to the Arsenal encounter, the most recent being a humiliation 4-1 at the hands of local rivals Liverpool.

Rafa Benitez’s club has only won two of the last 24 points available – 2 draws are the only gain from their last 8 matches!  Everton is at the bottom of an eight-game form table at the time, with at least four points fewer than any other side. They have also scored the fewest goals over that time – just 5 goals scored.

Key player injuries have clearly contributed to Everton’s dismal record, but the news that Salomon Rondon has joined fellow striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin on the sidelines is even worse, while Yerry Mina, Andre Gomes, and Tom Davies are either definitely out or extremely likely to miss Monday night’s encounter.

The Gunners started slowly, but they’ve since improved, winning 9 of their past 13 games in all competitions and closing in on the top four.

Following a hammering at the hands of Liverpool, the Gunners rallied back to defeat Newcastle United last weekend. Mikel Arteta may have believed that his team would take advantage of Manchester United’s poor form, only for Cristiano Ronaldo to inspire the Red Devils to a magnificent triumph.

Arsenal have lost two of their previous three games, both away from home, and have conceded 7 goals in the process. However, given that those games were played at Liverpool (4-0) and Manchester United (3-2), Arsenal have a chance to set the record straight when they face Everton, who are short of confidence and have gone winless in their last eight Premier League games.
