Arsenal vs Everton LIVE score: Premier League result and reaction as Gabriel Martinelli adds fourth goal

Arsenal can become the first team in English league history to win 100 games against a specific opponent – they currently have 99 wins in 202 league meetings with Everton.

Will Mikel Arteta’s men ton up tonight?

Arsenal’s 5-1 win in this fixture last season was the fifth time they have scored five or more times against the Toffees in the Premier League.

No side has netted five times against another more often in the competition.

Everton’s 1-0 win at the Emirates Stadium on 23rd April 2021 is their only victory in their last 26 top-flight matches away to Arsenal.

They’ve drawn four and lost 21 such fixtures.

Arsenal and Everton meet in a crucial Premier League fixtures for two clubs at opposite ends of the table at the Emirates Stadium.

The hosts can move five points clear of Manchester City with victory, while a positive result for Everton on the road would be a significant boost as Sean Dyche bids to keep his side up.

The encounter was due to originally be played in September, but was postponed after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

A busy league, cup and European calendar meant finding a suitable date for the rescheduled fixture was not straight forward, but will finally take place this week, with early exits from the FA Cup for both clubs freeing space in a crowded schedule.

The match will not be live on TV for viewers in the United Kingdom, though. Here’s why:

Arsenal were undone by Everton in the reverse fixture back in February in what was Sean Dyche’s first game in charge of the Toffees.

Expect Mikel Arteta’s men to right the wrongs of that defeat and keep their title charge rolling tonigt.

Arsenal 3-1 Everton.

Arsenal: Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Xhaka, Jorginho, Odegaard; Saka, Trossard, Martinelli.

Everton: Pickford; Coleman, Tarkowski, Coady, Mykolenko; Iwobi, Doucoure, Gueye, Onana, McNeil; Maupay.

An appearance off the bench against Leicester for Thomas Partey was welcome news for Mikel Arteta, though Jorginho is likely to continue in the starting anchor midfield role.

Knee injuries leave Mohamed Elneny and Gabriel Jesus still sidelined. Arteta must decide how to assemble his forward line having begun without a specialist centre forward at the King Power Stadium.

Everton will be without Dominic Calvert-Lewin, with a thigh injury the lastest issue ailing the striker. Also on Sean Dyche’s injury list are Nathan Patterson, James Garner and Andros Townsend. Neal Maupay may remain as Calvert-Lewin’s stand in up front.

The fixture won’t be shown live on TV in the United Kingdom.

Arsenal vs Everton was originally due to be held in September, but was postponed after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The match was not scheduled to be on TV before it was postponed and therefore is unable to be shown now, even though it has been rescheduled to a time at which viewers might usually expect to be able to tune in.

Despite the postponement, the fixture cannot be reallocated to a broadcaster, and will not be shown. It will be broadcast live on TalkSport radio, and you can follow The Independent’s live blog coverage for match action.

Arsenal vs Everton is due to kick off at 7.45pm on Wednesday 1st March at the Emirates Stadium in London.

Arsenal hope to extend their lead at the top of the table to five points but defeat to Everton would leave them vulnerable to being caught by second place Manchester City. The Toffees meanwhile hope to escape the relegation zone and three points tonight would be enough to shoot them as high as 15th.
