The Gunners are still in possession of the top-most spot, but the two Manchester teams are putting in pressure for the pole position. Mikel Arteta’s men cannot slip now.
It totally helps their cause that they are pitted against Everton this game week, who are placed 18th in a table of 20 – right in the hold of the relegation zone.
Everton did register a 1-0 win at home in the reverse fixture, but they lost the game just before that 5-1 at this venue.
In fact, the hosts have been dangerously dominant at this stadium over the last several years. They won 29 of the former 35 clashes between at the two at this stadium, and lost just twice since 1990.

枪手仍然占据着榜首的位置,但两支曼彻斯特球队正在对杆位施加压力。米克尔·阿尔特塔的球员现在不能滑倒了。
这对他们的事业完全有帮助,他们在这个比赛周对阵埃弗顿,埃弗顿在20个排名表中排名第18位,正处于降级区。
埃弗顿确实在主场以1-0获胜,但在此之前他们在这个场地以5-1输掉了比赛。
事实上,在过去的几年里,东道主在这个球场一直处于危险的统治地位。自1990年以来,他们只输了两次,在这个球场上,他们赢了35场比赛中的29场。
