Prediction: 1-2
Arsenal
Goodison Park will be the centre of attention when Everton and Arsenal go head to head in the Premier League round 5. The Toffees were more than fortune to avoid relegation last season and they continue to struggle in the new domestic campaign. As Everton have collected only one point in total from possible 12 this term, home win should not be considered. Dominic Calvert-Lewin faces race against the clock to be fit for Sunday’s clash, while both Seamus Coleman and Dele Alli remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Gunners, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Manchester United. The last season’s runners-up are eager to stay in the title race and given Everton’s slow start to the season, we predict that Mikel Arteta’s men are going to pick up all three points from the match. All Thomas Partey, Jurrien Timber, and Mohamed Elneny are out of contention with injuries, while Albert Sambi Lokonga is a major doubt.
Highlighted Player (Abdoulaye Doucouré):
French international midfielder Abdoulaye Doucour is a bundle of raw energy and a player who was voted Watford’s Player of the Season during the 2017/18 campaign. A deep-lying midfielder who takes part in play build-up from behind is a defensive asset who took time to blossom and announce himself at the international stage. He first burst to prominence at Ligue 1 side Rennes in 2012 after a year with the club’s B side and went on to play 75 league matches and score 12 goals.
Watford bought Doucoure in 2016 but sent him on loan to Granada, where he took part in 15 league matches. Determined to prove his worth in the Premier League, the Frenchman of Mali descent wasted no time in grabbing a starting spot under both Marco Silva and Javi Garcia, respectively, upon his return from Spain.
The total of 38 matches played along with 8 goals scored made Doucoure one of the most sought-after assets in the summer of 2018 but the player remained at Vicarage Road despite reported interest from Tottenham Hotspur.
Highlighted Team (Arsenal):
Arsenal are regarded as one of the best English teams. The Gunners have won 12 FA Cup trophies, 13 league titles and two League Cups, but they have yet to lift the Champions League trophy. Arsene Wenger’s team were on the verge of beating Barcelona in the Champions League final back in 2006, but they eventually failed to win the prestigious title.
Arsenal used to play their homes at Highbury, but in 2006 they moved to the Emirates Stadium. The capacity of the stadium is 60,260. The Gunners won their last Premier League trophy back in 2004, with the capital club going through the season without a single loss. The likes of Thierry Henry, Denis Bergkamp and Robert Pires were part of the team back then, but Arsenal have not won the league trophy ever since.
Arsenal was founded by Woolwich munitions workers as Dial Square back in 1886. It is well known that Tottenham Hotspur are Arsenal’s fiercest rivals and there have always been fireworks when the two local rivals meet in the North London derby.
