Arsenal chased Manchester City all the way to the finishing line but for the second successive Premier League season Mikel Arteta's side had to make do with the runners-up spot to Manchester City despite a 2-1 victory over Everton on Sunday.

Before Arsenal created their place in history as “The Invincibles”, during the 2003/04 Premier League campaign, Arsene Wenger’s men had already shown a sign of things to come when they headed to Goodison Park in October 2002 amid a 30-game unbeaten run.

Sunderland try to take the game to Arsenal as Wilson Isidor's pass almost finds Bertrand Traore. Riccardo Calafiori is alert to intercept and the attack breaks down. Nordi Mukiele launches in a couple of early long throws but Arsenal comfortably deal with any potential danger.

For their part, Everton arrive on a difficult run after a 3–0 defeat to Tottenham and a 2–0 loss to Manchester City in the league, following a 2–1 home win over Crystal Palace earlier in October. Fortunately, and finally for UK viewers, the match will be available to watch on television or streaming due to the time at which the game is scheduled.

Mikel Arteta has called on the Premier League to move Arsenal's match against Everton to avoid the Gunners having two games in three days.
