Preview Arsenal Premier League, Apr 23, 2021

Preview Arsenal denied Fulham a win on Sunday in their 32nd Premier League appearance of the season. Second-half substitute, Edward Nketia (90'+ET) equalized for Gunners in the seventh minute of stoppage time to seal a 1-1 home draw for Arsenal. Josh Maja (59' P) had put Fulham in the lead from the penalty spot a minute short of the hour mark. Earlier in the game, Dani Ceballos thought he had put Arsenal in the lead after a fine header beat Fulham's goal keeper, Alphonse Areola. But the goal was chalked off after a VAR review spotted Bukayo Saka in offside position during the build-up. The draw leaves Arsenal with a form that reads: WDLWD (Premier League) and in 9th place after 32 matches. On goal stats, Gunners have scored 44 goals and conceded 36 - hence, have a GD of +8 and 46 points after 13W, 7D & 12L. Mikel Arteta's side have a goal ratio of 1.38 goals per game. On Friday, he is expected to adopt an attacking 4—2—3—1 formation with Eddie Nketia leading the attack while the trio of Gabriel Martinelli, Rowe and Saka will likely play behind him. On availability, Lacazette was forced off with a hamstring injury in the game against Fulham. He remains doubtful for this tie along with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who is recovering from Malaria. In other related news, the media is awash with reactions from the newly announced European Super League of which Arsenal and five other Premier League clubs have agreed to take part in. UEFA and the Premier League remain fixed on the disapproval of the new competition tipped to kick off in August 2020.

Preview Everton Premier League, Apr 23, 2021

Preview Everton remains in 8th place on the table with 14W, 7D & 10L. Everton's last Premier League tie ended 2-2 from the four-goal thriller against Tottenham Hotspur. The Toffees should have picked up a win but poor defending saw them punished twice by Harry Kane (27' & 68'). The Englishman put in a King-of-the-Match performance – scoring his first when the ball landed right at his feet after a failed defensive clearance. Later on, a clumsy challenge in the box handed Spurs a penalty which was converted by Sigurdsson (31' P), making it 1-1. Sigurdsson scored again in the 62nd minute to hand Everton the lead but another defensive error allowed Kane to volley home and deny Everton the win. Despite denying Everton all three points, it was the last game for Jose Mourinho as coach of Spurs. Tottenham terminated his contract earlier today (19th of April) based on results after being in charge for just 17 months. That draw leaves the Toffees with a form that reads: LLDDD (Premier League). On goals, they have scored 43 times and conceded 40 - hence, have a GD of +3 coupled with a goal ratio of 1.39 goals per game. Carlo Ancelotti will be looking for at least a draw to keep Arsenal below his side as three points separate both teams on the Premier League table. We expect a defensive 3—5—2 formation when Everton with 49 points make another Premier League appearance. Meanwhile, Jean-Philippe Gbamin is ruled out of this tie.
