Everton vs Arsenal 2011-12 Preview

I have run out of time today, the match is about to start. This will be an extremely short preview.

We travel to Goodison Park to face Everton as we look to continue our good run today. Our midfield lynchpin Mikel Arteta returns to his earlier home in the Premier League today. I hope we can sustain our winning momentum and carry it foeward to this game. In the reverse fixture at the Emirates this season, it took a wonder goal by Robin van Persie to settle the game for us. I hope we find our reserves if (and when, as Everton usually give us a tough game) needed and we can come out victorious.

Thoughts are due to former Gooner Fabrice Muamba who is recovering steadily after suffering a heart attack on the pitch durin Bolton's match against Tottenham. Hope he recovers well.
