‘Flat’ would be the best word to describe Arsenal’s performance in the disappointing defeat to Everton last weekend.

It was a surprisingly lacklustre performance at Goodison Park and it will be hoped that the Gunners are able to reset quickly and get back to playing with the energy and vibrancy we have seen from them for most of the season so far.

Mikel Arteta’s side will need to be at their best when they face Brentford on Saturday. The Bees are coming into the game after a convincing 3-0 win over Southampton, and they have already beaten City at the Etihad this campaign.
