Arsenal are gaining momentum in pursuit of Champions League qualification but Goodison Park presents a trickier assignment than it has done for most of the season, as Chelsea discovered last month. Everton’s overall form has improved significantly since an enforced 17-day break in February. Four clean sheets in their last five matches will encourage a defence that will be tested by the in-form Arsenal duo of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Unai Emery’s side are unbeaten in six league games, winning five, and victory on Merseyside would be a significant step towards a top four finish. Andy Hunter
