We know that form can go out of the window and records are there to be broken, but it doesn’t look good for Everton on Saturday evening.
The Toffees have a dismal record when visiting Arsenal, and everything points to a comfortable win for the in-form Gunners on the back of their famous victory over Bayern Munich.
The last 21 away games at either the Emirates or Highbury (yes the poor form stretches that far back) make dire reading for Everton supporters…

In fact their pathetic rolling over in the fixture goes back even further…
Everton's record at Arsenal since Howard Kendall's team won 1-0 on the way to the title in 1987: DLLLLLLLDWLLLLLLLLLLLDLLDLLDDLL

If further proof were needed, this shocking stat pretty much seals the Merseysiders’ fate. No English team has beaten another English team as much as Arsenal have whipped Everton…

But football fans being football fans, heart trumps head…
As always, I view away games against Arsenal with trepidation. However, hope springs eternal. C'mon Everton, win this one for HK!
