On Saturday, Arsenal travels to Everton to play The Toffees on their new home turf, Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The new facility seats 52,769 with a cost of just over $1-billion (USD) to build.
Manager David Moyes team are currently 9th on the Premier League table trailing Arsenal by 12 points. They have won 4 out of the last 6 matches they have played in all competitions.
Jack Grealish and Jordan Pickford are among the Toffees’s elite player.
For Arsenal, this is another “must win” match to keep the club on top of the league table. Man City trails the Gunners by only 2 points and Aston Villa by 3. City plays West Ham United this weekend, while Villa tackles Man United on the road.
With that said, Arsenal did not play their best football in 2 of their last 3 matches. Things need to improve on Saturday against a very good Everton side in order to get the necessary 3 points.
Here’s my predicted starting XI for Arteta at Everton this weekend…
[4-3-3]
Trossard, Gyokeres, Saka
Rice, Odegaard, Merino
Calafiori, Hincapie, Saliba, Timber
Raya
Predicted final score: Everton 1 – ARSENAL 3
