Arsenal vs Everton Match Preview
January 8, 2010 | Written by : Jim Haines
Cesc Fabregas is missing for Arsenal with a hamstring injury, while Everton skipper Phil Neville returns for his first Premier League game for a number of months.
Neville played in Everton’s FA Cup match against Carlisle and is set to keep his place in midfield.
WIth Yakubu on international duty and Louis Saha out with a hamstring problem, James Vaughan could lead the line as a sole striker for David Moyes’ side.
The absence of Joseph Yobo - who is at the Africa Cup of Nations - means that Tony Hibbert will partner Johnny Heitinga in central defence.
New loan signing Landon Donovan is set to be on the bench.
With Fabregas out and Alex Song and Emmanuel Eboue on international duty, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will have to ring the changes ahead of this match.
Aaron Ramsey is set to start in place of Fabregas, with Denilson taking Song’s place in central midfield.
Eduardo will once again be the lone striker, as Robin van Persie and Nicklas Bendtner are both injured.

Got something to say?
Without the injured Van Persie and Fabregas whose are the life of the team while Alex Song and Eboue were called for African Cup duty, can Gunners still proceed?
Before this, Wenger’s side has been in a rich vein of form since their only home defeat against Chelsea at the end of November. In achieve of it, it is not fully depends on the effort of key players. Others in the team, Wenger and even the youngster sharing to contribute on these. As a result, Arsenal should able to maintain the hot form even if without some key players today. The exploded team morale will bring Gunners a victory against low form Everton who has falling off in this season.
Arsenal can play well and can more still maintain its performance,
again Arsenal needs some few players to make well,
Everybody should be suporting Arsenal the gunners now
