Everton will look to begin life under Sean Dyche with a win when they welcome Premier League leaders Arsenal to Goodison Park on Saturday.
The Toffees sacked former boss Frank Lampard last week after a run of poor results that has left them without a win in their last eight league matches (D2, L6) – their longest winless Premier League (PL) run since October 1994.
As a result, the hosts currently sit inside the relegation zone but just two points below the safety line. They will come into this game desperate to get off a flying start under their new manager, who is famous for his strict standards.

Arsenal will hope to keep their unbeaten run in the Premier League for another game when they visit Merseyside on Saturday. The Gunners have not tasted defeat in the league in 13 games (W11, D2) and are currently leading the title race by five points, having played a game less than closest challengers Manchester City.
However, they did lose 1-0 away to Pep Guardiola’s side in the FA Cup last weekend. But given that Mikel Arteta’s side have won each of their last three Premier League away games – which included victory in the North London Derby – and did so with a margin of 2+ goals in each, they will fancy their chances of recording a win with Over 2.5 Goals in this game.
