Having lost three successive home games
in all competitions for the first time in over 13 years, Arsenal face
Barcelona at the Camp Nou in the UEFA Champions League in midweek
before travelling to Goodison Park for their next Premier League
fixture on Saturday. Of course, all things are possible, but the
Gunners are 25/1 to turn around their 2-0 deficit with Barca, so the
chances are that Arsene Wenger’s side will hardly be oozing
confidence by the time Saturday lunchtime rolls around.
Romelu Lukaku scored twice in a feisty
F.A. Cup tie against his old club Chelsea at Goodison Park last
Saturday to take his total for the season to 25 and, in current mood,
the Arsenal back four will do well to contain the Belgian striker.
The absence of Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey is a definite
disadvantage for the men in red-and-white and, with their season in
danger of petering out to nothing, the Toffees may be playing them at
just the right time. If confidence counts for anything, Everton and
Lukaku look the way to go here, so let’s try the Belgian to score
the opening goal at 9/2 with William Hill.
Selection: Romelu Lukaku to
score first goal (9/2 with William Hill)
