Everton face a daunting trip to North London this weekend as they take on Premier League leaders Arsenal at the Emirates.
Arsenal currently sit top of the table on 67 points, having lost just three league games all season, and look determined to keep their title push on track.

Despite the recent form, history suggests Everton will need something special this weekend. The Emirates has long been a cursed venue for the club, yielding just one victory in their last 29 visits. If Moyes’ side are to end that hoodoo, it will require a near-flawless performance.
