Everton have a new injury concern ahead of their clash against Arsenal.
The Toffees’ nine-match unbeaten run in the Premier League came to an end following a 1-0 loss against Liverpool in the Merseyside derby at Anfield. Diogo Jota’s 57th-minute strike proved decisive, although Everton were adamant the goal should not have stood. They claimed Liverpool winger Luis Diaz was interfering with play in an offside position beforehand.
Everton also spurned a major chance in the first half, with Beto striking the post with a one-on-one opportunity. David Moyes’ wait for a win goes on and now the Blues face a swift turnaround. They have another tough test in store when Arsenal visit Goodison Park on Saturday (12.30pm BST).
Against Liverpool, there was the good news that Iliman Ndiaye returned to the match-day squad. Everton’s eight-goal talisman missed almost two months with a knee injury but managed to come off the bench for a cameo.
