At the time of writing this preview, both sides are without a manager, though that could well change by the weekend. Everton are in 16th place and host Arsenal who are in tenth but only four points above the home side. Since the sacking of Marco Silva, Everton have earned four points from games against Chelsea and Manchester United and climbed out of the bottom three. They are only three points above the relegation zone and could have Carlo Ancelotti in charge by the time this game takes place. Home form has been inconsistent this season, starting well but then going on a run of one win in five before Silva received his marching orders. Duncan Ferguson inspired them to a win over Chelsea in their last home league match. 

Arsenal are tenth in the table and seven points behind the final Champions League place. The problem is that they are the same number of points above the relegation zone.  They might also have a new manager by the weekend with Mikel Arteta lined up for the job. The Gunners are struggling though, particulalry in defence and last weekend saw them lose 3-0 at home to Manchester City. Only one of their last 12 league and cup games have been won, a 3-1 win at West Ham whose defending is also nothing to write home about. Away from home, the Gunners have only won one of their last seven league games but do regularly get on the score sheet. A bet on both teams to score is the suggested wager.
