The Premier League returns as Arsenal and Liverpool look to avoid repeating Everton and Wolves mistakes
Arsenal vs Everton
Arsenal and Everton play their games in hand, and it is against recent opposition as Mikel Arteta's men try to avenge their shock loss at Goodison, while Liverpool try to gain more ground on the top four against Wolves, who thrashed them in the first Premier League game in February.
The last time Arsenal played against Everton, the Toffees pulled off one of the biggest shocks this season, ending their run of five straight defeats and 10 games without a win by defeating league leaders Arsenal in a dominant display at Goodison Park.
That momentous win was nearly a month ago, and both teams now look like they are reverting to their forms prior to the meeting.
Despite initial struggles, Arsenal have won their last two fixtures, while Everton have lost two of their last three games, and are again flirting with relegation as they sit just inside the relegation zone in 18th position.
Now the teams meet again with Everton hoping a win over Arsenal can signal a more permanent change in their fortunes. The Gunners want to avoid the mistakes they made at Goodison Park when the Toffees visit the Emirates.
Key Players
Arsenal
Bukayo Saka
Bukayo Saka has been arguably Arsenal’s player of the season, aiding their cause with nine goals and eight assists for the Gunners this season.
In his last five games, Saka has scored twice and provided an assist for Arsenal and will be hoping to continue his rich vein of form when Arsenal host Everton.
Everton
Alex Iwobi
Many believed that Alex Iwobi would struggle under Sean Dyche after being such an important part of Frank Lampard’s Everton midfield.
However, Iwobi has continued his impressive form for Everton. Even though he has been moved out wide and plays as a right winger these days, he is still integral to the team and assisted Everton’s winning goal against Leeds two games ago.
Liverpool vs Wolves
Like Arsenal, Liverpool also start March the way they started February, with a Premier League fixture against Wolves. On that occasion, they were handed a comprehensive beating by Wolves, losing 3-0 thanks to goals from Ruben Neves, Craig Dawson, and an own goal by Joel Matip.
After the defeat, Liverpool dropped to 10th on the table, but have since climbed to seventh on the table thanks to two wins and a draw in the league.
The Reds still have a chance to make it to the Champions next, being nine points below Tottenham in fourth with two games in hand, this being one of them.
Wolves on the other hand are only three points away from 19th place despite being 15th on the table and will certainly value any points they can get at Anfield in the face of what is certain to be a tight battle to stay in the Premier League.
Key Players
Liverpool
Alisson Becker
Liverpool’s Alisson has been their only standout player this season. At least in terms of positives. Alsisson has been arguably the best goalkeeper in the Premier League this season despite the team in front of him constantly trying to make his life a living hell.
Alisson kept out the most expected goals on target in the Premier League this season, and Liverpool will need him to be on his best form when they play Wolves.
Wolves
Ruben Neves
The last time these two met, Neves put on a masterclass against Liverpool. He scored a goal, created a big chance, and made 12 defensive interventions for his side.
If Wolves are to stand any chance against Liverpool, they will need Neves to dominate the middle of the park once again.
