Everton travel to Arsenal in the Premier League tonight
Good afternoon and welcome to the ECHO's live coverage of Everton's clash with Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
The postponed Merseyside against Liverpool derby last weekend meant the challenging December run-in was put on hold, although the trip to Gunners today very much signifies its arrival.
Arsenal seem to have recovered some form after a sluggish start to the season and will be desperate not to lose any more ground to Liverpool in the Premier League title race. They are currently six points behind the Reds, but have played a game more.
As for Everton, any positive result in north London would feel like a positive. After beating Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-0 last time out there is at least some breathing room between the Blues and the relegation zone. Sean Dyche will be well aware of how quickly that gap can evaporate though, especially with the games coming thick and fast at this time of year.
Joe Thomas and Chris Beesley will be attendance at the Emirates to bring you live updates and more.
