Dejection became delight for Bukayo Saka on Wednesday evening; after the Arsenal academy graduate had a last-gasp winner disallowed in last weekend’s 1-1 draw with Fulham, he had a direct hand in all three goals when Monaco
came to visit in the Champions League.Saka’s brace and assist for Kai Havertz propelled Arsenal to an ultimately comfortable success over an error-strewn Monaco, who were fortunate not to be three or four goals down
inside the opening 45 minutes, as Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard both squandered magnificent opportunities to score.Now on the cusp of automatic last-16 qualification, Arsenal – who scored all three of their goals on
Wednesday from open play – have some mistakes to rectify in the Premier League, having seen their momentum stall at Craven Cottage to leave them third in the rankings, six points below Liverpool having played a game
more.Some pessimistic Gooners may already be writing off their side’s title hopes after a fifth stalemate of the season, but the race for glory is far from a foregone conclusion, and Arsenal remain unbreakable at their Emirates base so far this season.
The only Premier League match to fall victim to devastating Storm Darragh last weekend, Everton and Liverpool’s final top-flight derby at Goodison Park was pushed back to a later date, undoubtedly a more inconvenient
postponement for the Toffees than the Reds.Dyche’s men would have welcomed their bitter rivals to their headquarters on the back of their best performance of the season so far,
having slaughtered relegation-battling Wolves 4-0 on a day where Ashley Young scored a magnificent free kick and Craig Dawson turned the ball into his own net twice.Prior to the thrashing of Gary O’Neil’s side, Everton had

gone scoreless in four Premier League matches, winless in five and had only managed five goals in their previous eight matches, but putting Wolves to the sword solidified their buffer to the relegation zone.
The 15th-placed Toffees are five points clear of 18th-placed Ipswich Town with a game in hand, but the Tractor Boys are coincidentally the only team that Everton have beaten in a Premier League
away game in 2024; they have failed to breach Southampton, West Ham United or Manchester United’s nets since then.Furthermore, after winning four of their five Premier League
matches against Arsenal from December 2020 to February 2023, Everton have now lost their last three against the Gunners, but Arsenal’s 2-1 home success on the final day of last season was ultimately in vain.
