Everton vs Arsenal
Since a 2-0 win over Norwich City at the end of September, Benitez has failed to guide Everton to victory, and eight games have passed since. The Toffees have also lost three consecutive matches ahead of the Arsenal clash, with the latest coming in the form of a thrashing at the hands of local rivals Liverpool.
The poor results since the win over Norwich have been attributed to injury-enforced issues. As those problems still majorly persist, Benitez has learnt the hard way there is no place to hide at Everton. The pressure is truly on the Spanish tactician as a defeat to the Gunners could see the former Liverpool manager depart.
On the other hand, Arsenal have endured a mixed set of results in recent weeks. After a thorough thrashing at the hands of Liverpool, the Gunners bounced back to secure three points against Newcastle United last weekend. Mikel Arteta might have hoped his side took advantage of Manchester United’s bad run of form, only for Cristiano Ronaldo to inspire a brilliant win for the Red Devils.
The Gunners missed out on the chance to leap ahead of West Ham United in fourth place after the Hammers played out a draw with Brighton & Hove Albion earlier in the week. Arteta will hope to keep the pressure on their London rivals in the race for the final Champions League spot. He will also be wary of Manchester United, who lurk right behind them with only two points keeping them apart heading into the latest round of fixtures.
