It might be cynical to suggest Arsenal have commenced their annual reverse into fourth place but, despite Roberto Martínez’s claims that his opponents remain strong title contenders, a run of one win in eight games in all competitions has presented an all too familiar problem for Arsène Wenger. At least they will not be facing Messi, Suárez, Neymar and co when they arrive at Everton, who have won only one of the past 17 league meetings between the sides and lost seven times already at home in the Premier League this season.
