Join us for live coverage of the Premier League game between Everton and Arsenal at Goodison Park. With both teams just recently appointing new managers, which one will come out on top?
  • 93'
    Full time! The game today ends goalless as both teams lacked quality and did not seem convincing in front of goal. Their two new managers know that they have a lot of work to do, as both Everton and Arsenal are far from their best. A game that lacked any real chances and nothing really stood out. Disappointing for both Ferguson and Ljungberg. 0-0!
  • 90'
    Willock goes into the book for a foul!
  • 90'
    3 minutes added time!!
  • 87'
    Arsenal's defence has been brilliant and they managed to keep the ball out from the free kick, every time Everton try to put pressure on in the box, the defenders are waiting for them
  • 86'
    Chambers goes into the book and Everton have a free kick on the left hand side of the box! Dangerous position
  • 85'
    Yerry Mina is down for EVerton, who may have a problem as they've made all their changes, meaning he will have to continue
  • 79'
    Everton make a change and sub Tosun comes off, who is not happing at being brought on and subbed off after 18 minutes and goes straight done the tunnel. Moise Keane is his replacement
  • 77'
    Surprising change, as Aubameyang is brought off and Lacazette comes on
  • 74'
    Sigurdsson goes into the book for a bad challenge on Saka
  • 71'
    Fabian Delph comes off for Everton and is replaced by Kean!
  • 65'
    First Arsenal change, as Emile Smith-Row is replaced by Willock!
  • 64'
    Everton have a corner, as they are really struggling in this second half! David Luiz powers it away with his head!
  • 58'
    Corner for Arsenal, but it is over-hit and goes wide of the box
  • 53'
    Corner for Everton
  • 51'
    Aubameyang has another shot after Mina passes to him, but he strikes it right into Pickford's pass. Arsenal looking better in attack now!
  • 49'
    Another corner for Arsenal as Mina clears the ball out. Chambers is there to receive it and passes it to Aubameyang, who has a shot near the goal, it is going in, but great reactions from Pickford denies Arsenal the lead!!
  • 49'
    Corner for Arsenal, but it is cleared away by Calvert-Lewin
  • 48'
    Clumsy challenge on Maitland-Niles by Richarlison, which gives Everton a free kick
  • 46'
    A good ball is played into Lucas Digne on the left, who crosses into Richarlison in the box, but his shot goes wide of the far post as he can't quite control it
  • 45'
    The second half is underway! With both new managers going to speak to their teams at half time
  • 45'
    Half Time! A half time that has lacked a lot of quality and not too much to excite Arteta and Ancelotti here. Not too much in the way of attacking play in this first half. Something needs to give and both teams need to improve in the second half! 0-0
  • 45'
    2 minutes added time!
  • 44'
    Davies goes into the book for a challenge on Torreira. Martinelli gets the ball and manages to get past the defenders and have a shot, but he is denied the chance for goal as he hits it wide
  • 43'
    Davies receives the ball in the box after nobody marks him and he makes a good run in, but Tosun is there to get the ball and skies it well over the goal. First bit of exciting play from Everton
  • 42'
    Something needs to give in the second half, whether it is Arteta and Ancelotti who go and give the half time team talks or whether it is the current managers, both teams need to do a lot better!
  • 39'
    Richarlison makes a good run down the left hand side and tries to cross the ball into the box, but it wasn't a great ball in and it lands straight in Leno's arms.
  • 38'
    38 minutes in and Arsenal are sitting pretty, holding Everton quite comfortably, it is only their attacking trio that can't seem to find themselves in this game.
  • 32'
    Saka runs across the left of the pitch for Arsenal, after fouling Sidibe, but nothing was given and play carried on, but his cross into the box was poor and went out.
  • 27'
    Saka goes into the book for kicking the ball away from the throw in from Leno.
  • 27'
    Free kick for Arsenal as they look to try and get into this a bit more! Pickford comes out a bit and manages to confidently punch the ball away.
  • 25'
    6 of Arsenal's starting XI are 23 years old or younger, a new, fresh outlook for the team, that has obviously had some of Arteta's influence
  • 23'
    No real attacking threat or movement from Arsenal as of yet, as they are struggling to get into this game
  • 21'
    David Luiz commits another foul as he goes ploughing into Calvert-Lewin, a very clumsy foul that gives away another free kick.
  • 18'
    Sigurdsson takes the shot on himself from the edge of the box and aims for the near post, but his shot goes just wide and no real threat is posed.
  • 17'
    David Luiz caught Richarlison on the edge of the box and a foul it is a foul, meaning a free kick is awarded to Everton in a dangerous place!
  • 16'
    Great defending by Saka denies Richarlison a shot at goal! Everton looking dangerous
  • 15'
    Martinelli is back on the pitch for Arsenal and is okay to carry on
  • 13'
    Sidibe collides with Martinelli, who has stayed down at the other end of the pitch and looks to be in a bit of pain. He is being treated by the medical staff now
