Everton host Arsenal in a game where the visiting team is normally expected to be overlooked in this game.
Sean Dyche takes his seat on the home bench at Goodison Park for the first time and Everton fans are hoping they are on the end of a ‘new manager rebound’.
As mentioned, Arsenal would be expected to beat Everton with ease due to the differences in form between the two clubs, but you never know when a new manager will arrive.
