DETAILS: Viewpoint of the Opponent: Everton vs. Arsenal | High confidence among the Gunners

Everton and Arsenal – two sides that have not only been not relegated during the

Premier League era but also hold the two longest streaks in English football as it concerns the trauma of going down.

One of those sides, however, has been much closer than the other in recent years.

Sitting in 15th place, three points would lift the Toffees further above the drop than they currently are positioned,

while even a single point for the Blues would likely be considered a minor victory; it would be,

equally, another big blow for Arsenal’s title hopes to come away with anything less than all three points.

But Everton are coming off of their best match of the season versus Wolves –

right after one of their worst showings in the prior get together with Manchester United;

the final Merseyside Derby of Goodison Park’s illustrious history was postponed due to storm,

and so with all of the passion and energy still bottled, the Toffees find themselves in

north London for a showdown with a positive side facing some questions of their own.

Who is healthy enough to play for Arsenal? Who will the Blues be facing when they take

the pitch at the Emirates, a ground where they have had a miserable record for some decades now.
