Arsenal continue their Premier League title pursuit on Saturday when they travel to Goodison Park to take on relegation-threatened Everton.
It will be Sean Dyche's first game in charge of the Toffees and the former Burnley boss has an uphill battle on his hands, with his new side currently 19th in the league. However, Dyche boasts a decent record against Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, losing just one of the first encounters he has had against the Spaniard.
Similarly, Everton have also fared well against Arteta's side in recent times, recording a win in three of the last four fixtures against the north Londoners - including an injury-time winner from Demarai Gray that saw them clinch a 2-1 victory at Goodison last term. However, this Arsenal team is a different one to previous seasons.

The Gunners have won 16 of their first 19 league outings, remaining unbeaten since September 4 when they fell 3-1 to Manchester United at Old Trafford. That stellar run of form sees them currently sit top of the league standings, five points clear of second-placed Manchester City, who have also played one more match than their title rivals.
Arteta made it no secret of his desire to bolster his squad during the January transfer window and technical director Edu made sure to grant the young coach his wish, bringing in Belgian attacker Leandro Trossard from Brighton, Polish centre-half Jakub Kiwior from Serie A side Spezia before experienced Italian midfielder Jorginho arrived from Chelsea on deadline day.
Both Kiwior and Jorginho are yet to make their debuts for the north London outfit and fotball.london now takes a look at the full squad Arteta has available for the trip up north.
Goalkeepers: Aaron Ramsdale, Matt Turner, Karl Hein.
Defenders: Ben White, Gabriel Magalhaes, Rob Holding, William Saliba, Kieran Tierney, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Lino Sousa, Jakub Kiwior.
Midfielders: Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey, Jorginho, Martin Odegaard, Fabio Vieira, Matt Smith, Amario Cozier-Duberry, Ethan Nwaneri.
Forwards: Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Eddie Nketiah, Emile Smith Rowe, Leandro Trossard.
