Premier League leaders Arsenal enter the weekend with a narrow two-point edge over second-place Manchester City.
The Gunners must take maximum points against Everton at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday to ensure they'll remain top of the charts on Christmas Day.
Arsenal will have to make do with key defender Ben White, who was forced off with a hamstring injury in last weekend's victory over Wolverhampton. Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes and Cristhian Mosquera will also be unavailable.
Wolves played Arsenal tough for over 90 minutes, and the Gunners won on a 94th-minute own goal. David Moyes' men will look to do one better by taking three points.
Everton will hope to take advantage of the home supporters behind them in pursuit of an upset, though the Toffees will be missing several regulars.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will miss the match due to a hamstring injury. Idrissa Gueye and Iliman Ndiaye will both be away with the Senegalese national team at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Seamus Coleman and Jarrad Branthwaite are set to be sidelined for an extended stretch.
Saturday's match will kick off at 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT / 8 p.m. GMT.
It will be available to watch across various platforms, including both television and streaming.
