On Monday Evening, Everton and Arsenal will both aim to bounce back from disappointing midweek defeats during Monday's Premier League battle at Goodison Park.
The Toffees suffered a dampening 4-1 Merseyside derby defeat to Liverpool, while Mikel Arteta's side went down 3-2 to Manchester United.
Rafael Benitez's reunion with Liverpool on the blue half of Merseyside was never expected to be a joyous occasion, with the Reds in rampant goalscoring form and the Toffees losing their golden touch from the early stages of the season.
Mohamed Salah struck twice on the day after Jordan Henderson's curling effort broke the deadlock early doors, and even though Demarai Gray threatened the unlikeliest of comebacks, Diogo Jota killed any hopes of an Everton revival late on.
With their dismal winless streak in the Premier League now standing at eight matches, Everton find themselves down in 14th in the table before Saturday's games kick off, so they could very well drop closer to danger before Monday's battle commences.
Six of Everton's last eight top-flight matches have now ended in defeat - a truly alarming fall from grace given their bright start to life under Benitez - whose side have conceded eight goals and scored just one in their last three successive defeats.
Of course, Arsenal-linked Dominic Calvert-Lewin's injury woes have not helped them on the goalscoring front, but a lack of solutions to the England international's absence has been apparent, and the Gunners can feel confident of condemning Everton to a fourth defeat from five home games here.
Baboyo Says 2x
The less said about Arsenal's defence versus the 'Big Six' sides the better, but Arteta's men have done well to shut up shop against most other teams and should take advantage of Everton's downward slump to get back on track.
It is difficult to back Arteta's men to produce a goal-laden showing given their struggles to score from open play - not helped by Aubameyang missing sitters two weeks in a row - so this contest could be decided by just the one goal.
