There are a few positives to Arsenal facing Everton so soon after losing the first meeting between the two sides this season.
The most obvious one is an immediate chance to avenge the defeat at Goodison Park from just under a month ago as victory at the Emirates Stadium will see the north London outfit open up a five-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.
Although, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta knows his side must perform a lot better on home turf: "Well I think Everton were really good," he said in the post-match press conference. "We have to congratulate them first for how they’ve turned things around and I think they made it difficult to win the game because they were really efficient.
