Arsenal must avoid costly slip-up as Everton arrive seeking Chelsea response

Arsenal return to Premier League action against Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday needing a victory to maintain pace with league leaders Manchester City. Mikel Arteta's side sits three points behind City, who play Aston Villa earlier in the day. The Gunners enter the fixture following a 2-2 Champions League draw against Bayern Munich, where Eberechi Eze and Declan Rice each scored.

Babafemi Busari argues that Arsenal must leverage their strong home form despite several injury setbacks, including Bukayo Saka, William Saliba, and Christos Tzolis. David Moyes' Everton side arrives seeking a rebound after their first league defeat against Chelsea, carrying an unbeaten away record featuring three consecutive draws.
