Probably the most important game of the season. We are lucky to go against them when they have nothing to gain or lose from this. I hope Liverpool lose to Middlesborough. And lucky enough, we have Calum Chambers there who might be the difference for us.

Proper banter

Why is Welbeck picked before Theo, even if he has been awful after the return? Plus we need Liverpool to draw.

Welbeck is better at playing as a striker than Walcott.

Welbeck needs coordination training asap. He misses the ball so many times.

Like at Everton when he missed the ball. He was lucky it went to Bellerin for him to score.

Key Opta stats:

• Everton are now winless in their last 21 away league games against Arsenal, last beating them in London in January 1996 (2-1).

• The Gunners have scored 95 Premier League goals against Everton – more than any club has against another in the competition’s history.

• Danny Welbeck provided two assists in a single Premier League game for only the second time – the other was in April 2012 for Manchester United, also against Everton.

• Laurent Koscielny has been sent off five times since his Premier League debut in August 2010 – no player has been red-carded more in that time (Tom Huddlestone and Younes Kaboul also 5).

• Koscielny’s red card was the second time he’s been sent off in the opening 15 minutes of a Premier League game – the only player to have done so more than once (also sent off after 9 minutes vs Manchester City in 2013).

• The Gunners have conceded 10 penalty goals this season, one of just two sides in Premier League history to ship double figures of goals from the spot (Hull, 11 also this season).
