Gunners looking to get back to winning ways in Premier League
Arsenal are looking to get back to winning ways in the Premier League this weekend against Everton.
Mikel Arteta’s side were held to a 1-1 draw by Fulham last time out, though followed that up with a 3-0 win over Monaco in the Champions League, on a night where they could have scored much more but for some wayward finishing.
The Gunners sit seven points off leaders Liverpool in the title race but will fancy their chances of at least doing their part when they host the Toffees.
Sean Dyche’s side have endured a largely miserable season to date but did thrash Wolves 4-0 before seeing last weekend’s Merseyside derby postponed due to Storm Darragh hitting the UK.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Arsenal vs Everton is scheduled for a 3pm GMT kick-off time on Saturday 14 December 2024.
The Emirates Stadium in London will host.
TV channel and live stream: The game will not be broadcast in the UK as it takes place behind the 3pm blackout imposed across English football.
Free highlights: BBC One’s Match of the Day, however, will broadcast highlights when it airs at 10.30pm on Saturday.

Arsenal were without Gabriel Magalhaes, Riccardo Calafiori and Oleksandr Zinchenko for the game with Monaco, so Arteta will need to provide an update later this week. Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu are long-term absentees.
