Carlo Ancelotti and Mikel Arteta were both appointed to their current roles almost exactly one year ago, just before a goalless draw between Everton and Arsenal at Goodison Park in fact, but only the manager who has already delivered FA Cup success finds himself under pressure. The visitors have made their worst start to a top flight season for 46 years and not won in six games, while the hosts find themselves two points off second following back-to-back wins and clean sheets against Chelsea and Leicester. Allan’s absence with a hamstring injury could be a big loss for Everton. Andy Hunter
