Everton v Arsenal LIVE: Premier League result and reaction as Trossard strike secures well-earned Arsenal win
Mikel Arteta’s men hope to move into the top four as Everton desperately need a win
Arsenal hope to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League season as they travel to struggling Everton on Sunday afternoon.
Mikel Arteta’s are riding high after clinching a late victory over Manchester United in their last match before the international break to make it 10 points from their opening four matches and they’ll look to take that momentum into today’s encounter. Manchester, Liverpool and Tottenham are setting the early pace at the top of the table so it would be a big error if Arsenal were to drop points at Goodison Park.
Sean Dyche’s side, meanwhile, picked up their opening points of the season with a 2-2 away draw against Sheffield United. The Toffees won this fixture 1-0 last season in Dyche’s first game in charge and will be hoping for a repeat performance to kickstart their league campaign.

31 mins: Doucoure makes a surging run up the pitch as Everton begin to get going in this game. The midfielder jinks inside the box but goes down far too easily under no real challenge from the Arsenal defence.

28 mins: Just 24 per cent possession for the hosts who have really struggled to make any inroads up the pitch. Not a single shot on goal either...

Trossard comes on in his place.

21 mins: Martinelli has the ball in the back of the net and it won’t stand!

14 mins: Not a lot to report as the clock ticks towards the 15-minute mark in this encounter. Raya has his first touches in an Arsenal shirt and it’s a nice long ball from the Spaniard - looking for Saka - but the forward can’t get past Mykolenko and the play breaks down.
Everton 0-0 Arsenal
10 mins: The corner is eventually taken and the loose ball is eventually recycled to Vieira inside the box. The Portuguese midfielder is starting his first league game of the season but snatches at the effort on this occasion and it sails over the bar.
