Arsenal face Everton in what could be an entertaining and intriguing clash between two teams intent on rebuilding and pushing up the table.

New Gunners manager – and former Everton midfielder – Mikel Arteta has begun putting his own stamp on the team and his side are unbeaten in nine in all competitions, though draws have remained an issue.

The Toffees have their own new face in the dugout, in Carlo Ancelotti, and he has similarly started to see improvements in results with no defeats in five since an FA Cup exit at the hands of Liverpool.

The two clubs are 10th and 11th in the Premier League table ahead of kick-off, with Everton two points ahead of Arsenal.
