Arsenal have the chance to open a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League on Wednesday night when they entertain struggling Everton, while Liverpool need to recapture some form against Wolverhampton.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Arsenal go into the match with Gabriel Jesus their only absentee as he continues his recovery from a knee injury. The 'Gunners' will hope for a better result than in their first meeting with Everton ended in a 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park less than a month ago.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
That game meant Sean Dyche got off to a winning start at the club, but a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday leaves Everton back in the bottom three, a point from safety, a Xinhua report said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Everton have struggled to score goals, with just 17 in 24 league games, and their cause is not helped by the continued absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile, Dyche is expecting a totally different game in the Emirates Stadium than the meeting earlier this month.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"They (Arsenal) are having a fine season for sure. They're being very creative home and away but particularly at home, and they've proved they're a force to be reckoned with."<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"We've got to go down and be ready for that, and also give a performance ourselves like we did at home. It's not as easy," he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Liverpool lost 3-0 away to Wolves on the same day that Everton beat Arsenal at Goodison and Jurgen Klopp's side need to produce an improved display against a side that has got better since the arrival of Julen Lopetegui, but who have only scored one goal more than Everton this season.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Liverpool's main issues have been in midfield and defense this season, with players such as Trent Alexander-Arnold looking tired, although Klopp said after the weekend draw with Crystal Palace that the full-back has not been able to rest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Despite their poor season, a win would lift Liverpool above Fulham into sixth place and with a game in hand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Klopp will hope to have Darwin Nunez available after the striker suffered a shoulder injury, but Thiago Alcantara, Luis Diaz, Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate are all likely to miss out.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
