Mikel Arteta, manager of Arsenal, face his past this Wednesday, Everton where he played between 2005 and 2011before becoming a ‘gunner’ player. 5 points more than second, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
“We have options. Players to return after his injuries. This will be important because they cannot maintain the same level for 10 months. Impossible,” said Arteta. “But we have to change and be more unpredictable in our game.”
If they beat Everton, Arsenal will have 60 points in 25 games, which he will achieve for the third time in his history, something that for Arteta “means nothing”. The Emirates Stadium team have lost just 3 games in the Premier League, including a 1-0 defeat against Everton on February 4. “We have to do things better than before and maybe we will earn the right to win in the fight”-
All indications are that Thomas Partey will not be a starter against Sean Dyche’s side, although, following a back injury, he came on in the second half of Saturday’s 1-0 draw against Leicester. “He hasn’t trained much, he needs to pick up the pace,” Arteta said. Meanwhile, Everton are in the relegation zone, third from bottom, one point away from safety, marked by Leeds.
