With the home advantage of Emirates and a 3-0 victory over Monaco in the middle of the week, Mikel Arteta and his team are confident of aiming for 3 points to narrow the gap with the top team Liverpool.
In the Premier League, the Gunners are on a four-game winning streak from corner kicks. In the 1-1 draw with Fulham last round, centre-back Saliba's header helped the team hold on for an important point. However, Arsenal understand that they cannot rely too much on dead ball situations to finish off their opponents.
This was even more evident against Everton, despite having 77% ball control and 13 shots, 5 of which were on target, Arsenal could not defeat goalkeeper Pickford even once.
As for the away team, they were completely helpless in their attacks when they could not launch any shots on target of David Raya. However, a solid defense still helped them earn 1 point in their trip to Emirates.
During the 90 minutes of play, Arsenal's strikers Havertz, Martinelli, Saka, Jesus and captain Martin Odegaard could not penetrate Everton's well-organized defense. Not only did they waste good chances, the Gunners' strikers were really having problems finishing.
Arsenal also had 8 corners in the last match, but all of them failed to materialize into goals. Mikel Arteta certainly needs to quickly shake up his spirit and overcome his players' weakness in scoring.
With only 1 point against Everton, Arsenal is still in third place and 1 point behind Chelsea. If they continue to lose points, it will be very difficult for the Gunners to compete for the championship against a Liverpool team that has been extremely stable this season.
