    USA: 7:30am on USA, Univserso (never heard of this, but its on the Arsenal website)
    CAN: 7:30am on FuboTV
    AUS: 11:30pm on Optus Sports

    After a slight hiccup against Oilmoney FC in the FA Cup we are back to the EPL and a big chance to extend our lead at the top. Everton have been a shambles lately, but have a new manager in Sean "eats gravel daily" Dyche so we can't take them too lightly as he gets his teams to defend deep and in blocks. The Everton bus might be parked and hopefully they don't get the new manager bounce.

    As it stands, the only injuries are ESR has been confirmed to miss, and they will do a match day test on Partey. Potentially we see our new signing Jorginho, other than that we have the usual suspects on the field and on the bench.
    We haven't won at Goodison Park since 2017, its about damn time we change that.

    Arsenal to win 4-1. We are in great form, Nketiah and Saka will score, and maybe we will see Trossard get his first for the club.

    COME ON YOU GUNNERS!

    Seems to me that Jorginho will very likely play/start. Partey was supposedly unseen from the latest training video/photos. On top of Sambi being shipped out & Mo injured. Plus new bigname signings are often thrown in just a few days after they arrive at the club. Even if they're not fully "integrated" to your system of play, this is a well-worn playbook.

    Heard that this morning on XM. Will be curious to see how Arteta manages it. Blessedly Everton have been crap all year, so if ever there was a team against whom Arteta could tinker with the lineup as needed...

    I'll be looking to see how sharply they hone their attack, however. Imagine Arsenal are ever so slightly looking ahead to the Citeh match and want to roll into that one headstrong.

    C'mon you Gunners!

    Tough to breakdown initially then a cheeky 3-0 I reckon

    Whatever way you slice it, Mikel and the boys are going to work REALLY hard between now and end of May. So in return, the least we can do as fans is...

    Get up early (or stay up late) to watch this one live!

    Unrelated, but the home match vs. Everton that was postponed due to the death of Queen Elizabeth has yet to be rescheduled. I would expect the fixture to be announced soon, now that both teams are out of the FA Cup. We could be playing them again sooner than later, as the Europa league will start up again in early March. I would expect it will be scheduled for mid week either the last week in February or first week in March.

    Ah thanks for that insight! I was just wondering about how we've played 1 or 2 games less than others around us, and couldn't remember which match still had to be replayed, other than Citeh. You saved me from looking that up!

    As for tomorrow, if Partey isn't fit to start and Jorginho takes his place, does that by definition make us less physical defensively, in the air, etc? Thomas is quite a bit bigger lad than Jorge.

    Hard not to imagine Dyche's plan not being to rough us up a bit. If so, I pray that doesn't lead to injuries, cards and the like.

    An Arsenal player is going to have their season ended tomorrow. Dyche (my phone wants to autocorrect this to ‘duchess’) will then complain that he dived.

    Kiwior, Jorginho and Trossard on the bench. No Smith Rowe.

    WHY DID YOU NOT READ MY UN-OFFICIAL OFFICIAL MATCH WRITE UP.

    :p

    Very glad Partey came up fine, yesterday I had seen people suggesting he was likely to be a late out.

    Not exactly a solid start from Martinelli who has been a bit sloppy with the ball.

    Saka might be playing without full stereo vision for the next little while. :(

    Scummy Everton fans booing Saka for treatment for an eye injury. Saka is the most honest player in the league with guys like Kante no way he goes down if he wasn't injured.

    Everton really troubling us in the last few mins. If you didn't know the teams' relative table standing you'd think...

    22' sees Toffees with 4 corners in 3 minutes. Arsenal slack in their control this spell.

    Always seems to be the way we catch shit teams on a new manager bounce.
