Take Nketiah to find the target

EVERTON v ARSENAL Saturday 12.30pm, BT Sport 1

It is a new era at Everton with Sean Dyche set to take charge of his first game following the sacking of Frank Lampard.

But the Toffees face the unenviable task of ending a four-match run of home defeats against Premier League leaders Arsenal.

Everton’s defence have conceded at least twice in four of their last five games at Goodison while failing to score more than one goal in all but one of their ten games on their own patch.

The Gunners, meanwhile, could not be enjoying more contrasting fortunes and it is hard to see the Toffees keeping them in check.

Arsenal have scored eight goals in their last three away games and striker Eddie Nketiah has performed well after being given his chance. His confidence will have been boosted by a double in a win over United, so back him to make his mark.

STAT Arsenal have dropped just four points on the road this season Eddie Nketiah to score at any time [IW]
