Preview: Everton v Arsenal

We look to spread some extra festive cheer to all our supporters by remaining top of the Premier League tree this Christmas, but that will require us to take three points from Saturday’s first-ever visit to Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium home (8pm UK).

We’ll be hoping that a change in surroundings will help with a change of fortune, as we won just one of our seven visits to the Toffees’ former home, Goodison Park before the Merseysiders’ summer stadia switch.

Everton have been beaten just four times in 18 home matches since David Moyes’ triumphant return at the start of the year, but his former player Mikel Arteta will hope to be an unwelcome guest at the new venue as he aims to celebrate six years in our dugout by kicking off the festive fixtures with a welcome away win.
