Match Preview
Arsenal are undefeated in the Premier League in 2020 and have tightened up defensively under Arteta. The team have kept clean sheets in their last three games which is their best record in almost a year:

Arsenal have kept three consecutive clean sheets across all competitions for the first time since April 2019.

Arteta has also been able to get the best out of 18-year-old Bukayo Sako. The teenager has filled in at left-back while Kieran Tiernay has been sidelined and is rapidly becoming a key player:
Goal @goal
18-year-old Bukayo Saka is having quite the breakthrough season 🙌
∙ More assists across all competitions than any other Arsenal player (9)
∙ More assists than any other player in the Europa League (5)
∙ More assists than any other Premier League teenager (2)

Meanwhile, striker Alexandre Lacazette has appeared to have rediscovered his goalscoring touch. The Frenchman has scored in his last two outings to end a run of nine games without a goal.
Arsenal's improved form means they will not lack for belief on Sunday. They also possess a strong record against Everton and have won their last five league meetings with the Toffees at the Emirates.
Yet Everton are a different team under Ancelotti and victory against the Gunners will increase optimism they can secure a top-five finish.
Striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has thrived under the new manager and has three goals and an assist in his last four games:
Premier League @premierleague
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has 11 #PL goals this season
The most by an English player for @Everton since Andrew Johnson in 2006/07

Everton could also be boosted by the return from injury of midfielder Andre Gomes. The Portugal international suffered a fracture-dislocation of his ankle in November but could feature:
Everton @Everton
🗣️ | “André Gomes is available to play. He trained without problems. We are going to talk together before the game and decide if he can start or he goes on the bench.
“Bernard is okay, but I'm not sure Theo Walcott will play against Arsenal.” #ARSEVE

Sunday's game looks set to be a tight contest between two teams high on confidence. The Gunners have home advantage but may be affected by their Europa League exertions, while Ancelotti is the more experienced coach which could help end the Toffees' poor record at the Emirates.
