Arsenal face a crucial week in their Premier League season as they welcome Brentford to Emirates Stadium before taking on Manchester City five days later. Mikel Arteta's men are unbeaten in the league on their own patch this season and six points gained from their next two outings would significantly help the Gunners in their title battle with City.
For just the second time this season, Arsenal lost a Premier League fixture with James Tarkowski scoring the only goal of the game to register Sean Dyche's first win as Everton boss. The Gunners only other league defeat came against Manchester United with Arteta's side then going on an eight-game winning run in all competitions.
Leandro Trossard, Jorginho and Jakub Kiwior all joined the club in the January transfer window to help bolster the squad with Arteta suffering with a lack of depth in all three positions.
