Arsenal are back in Premier League action as they welcome Everton to the Emirates Stadium this evening with the hopes of extending their lead at the top of the table to 10 points.
The Gunners battled to draw 1-1 at Bayer Leverkusen in midweek, coming from behind to level in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 clash. Robert Andrich put the hosts in front, but Noni Madueke won a late penalty for Kai Havertz to convert against his former club.
Everton haven't played in almost two weeks, having won 2-0 against Burnley in their last outing. James Tarkowski grabbed the opener against his ex-employers before Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall sealed the deal.
This is a game that has high stakes for both sides with Arsenal aiming to go further out of reach at the top of the table while Everton will be keen to close in on the European places.
Here's our preview of the Gunners' encounter with the Toffees.

Arsenal team news
Ben White and Riccardo Calafiori both recovered from their respective injuries to be on the bench in Leverkusen so are likely to make the squad today. However, Martin Ødegaard and Leandro Trossard are both doubts after missing the trip to Germany.
One major change could come on the right side after Noni Madueke's substitute performance blew Bukayo Saka out the water in midweek and that just might earn him a start for the matchup with Everton.
Kai Havertz could also come into the side in favour of Eberechi Eze, whose performances have returned to the lacklustre category following his North London derby brace, which could allow the German another opportunity in a creative role.
Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Everton: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Hincapié; Havertz, Zubimendi, Rice; Madueke, Gyökeres, Martinelli
Everton team news
Everton's 11 days recovery between their win over Burnley and this game should have given David Moyes' squad plenty of time to bounce back from any minor issues they could have been suffering with.
The Scotsman will still be without Jack Grealish, Seamus Coleman and Carlos Alcarez for the visit to the Emirates, but he did report no fresh injury concerns in his pre-match press conference.
Predicted Everton lineup vs Arsenal: Pickford; O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Garner, Gueye; McNeil, Dewsbury-Hall, Ndiaye; Barry
Arsenal vs Everton score prediction
Everton caused Arsenal plenty of problems in both their encounters last season and the clash at the Hill Dickinson Stadium and they will likely look to once again do the same this time round.
While the Toffees will aim to be a frustrating force, the Gunners should have enough to get the better of the Merseyside outfit, but the scoreline will certainly be slender.
This is the type of the game that has set piece decider written all over it with the winning goal for Mikel Arteta's side likely to come from a corner or maybe even a long throw.
