"Sat firmly in the driving seat to get their hands on a first Premier League crown since way back in 2004, Mikel Arteta's men open this weekend's fixtures holding a seven-point buffer over Manchester City. Signing off February with a stellar 4-1 victory against arch-rivals Tottenham, Arsenal will be looking to make another title statement on Saturday."
"It should also be highlighted, the Gunners have won all of their previous five consecutive matchups at the Emirates by an aggregate score of 13-3. Suffering yet another injury setback last month and once again missing out over in Germany on Wednesday evening, skipper Martin Odegaard remains a major doubt here."
"Coming off the bench and converting from the spot against his boyhood club in midweek, Kai Havertz could be handed a first Premier League start since February 7th. Likewise, handed a full rest on Wednesday evening, Italian international Riccardo Calafiori could also start at left-back."
Arsenal welcomes Everton to the Emirates on Saturday evening as they continue their Premier League title pursuit, currently holding a seven-point lead over Manchester City. The Gunners recently drew 1-1 away at Bayer Leverkusen in Champions League action and defeated Tottenham 4-1 in February. Arsenal have won their last five consecutive home matches with an aggregate score of 13-3. Key player Martin Odegaard remains a major doubt due to injury, while Mikel Merino is ruled out for the season following foot surgery. Kai Havertz and Riccardo Calafiori could feature after limited recent action. Everton arrives in good form, having defeated Burnley 2-0 and Newcastle 3-2 recently, earning praise for their performances.
