Arsenal v Everton LIVE – team news, TV channel, kick-off time, score and commentary stream

It’s a big game in a big setting here in Arsenal’s media suite.

Obviously, we’re about to enter the final season in August for Everton at Goodison Park, the set-up here at the Emirates really is a world away from what we’re used to in the cozy confines of ‘The Grand Old Lady’. ‘

It will be interesting to see how much bigger the new press room is at Everton’s future home near the banks of the Mersey, but even though the Emirates is almost 18 years old now, the facilities here are impressive.

I have Henry Winter sitting just to my right, and as you might expect, he has a lot of visitors coming by and talking to him.

There was even a TV presenter who curled her hair before going in front of the cameras, which I have to admit is the first press room I’ve ever witnessed.

So what will it be for the Blues today?

An all-out attempt to spoil the party for Arsenal? Or the chance to say goodbye to departing players and see some youngsters?

Joe and Chris have had their say on the XIs they would pick.

Hello everyone and welcome to our latest Everton live blog of the Premier League season at the Emirates.

The Blues did remarkably well to secure their top-flight status some three weeks before this game as NO ONE at Goodison Park wanted to go into this game with Everton’s Premier League place in doubt , after going the distance in the final week of the campaign. in the previous two campaigns.

Speaking of which, today is the second anniversary of Everton’s dramatic 3-2 comeback win over Crystal Palace, plus the 40th anniversary of another trip to London, when Howard Kendall’s side beat Watford 2-0 to lift the FA Cup and start a golden era (please see my article on Derek Mountfield’s recollections of the day, he tells such a great story).

This afternoon is an opportunity for Sean Dyche’s side to shine against Mikel Arteta’s title chasers, although I suspect the events in the North West at the Etihad will carry Pep Guardiola’s warnings to his players about what could happen here, a moot point.

And welcome to our live coverage of Arsenal v Everton – a day where one team could become champions and another could become a major part of the parties.
