FT: Everton 0-0 Arsenal. A poor game ends in a stalemate as newly-installed managers, Ancelotti and Arteta watch from the stands.
Willock booked.
Yellow card
J. Willock
Three minutes added.
Davies drags a tame strike well wide from 25 yards out.
Chambers dwells on the ball in defence and ends up hacking Holgate down as he tried to clear his lines. It wins Everton a dangerous free kick on the left and earns Chambers a caution too.
Yellow card
C. Chambers
If it stays like this, will Mikel or Carlo be happier? Probably the away side's gaffer overall. Still time for someone to win this though.
EVERTON CHANGE: Big Dunc's at it again! He subs the sub! Tosun is replaced by Kean.

WHERE ARE THE GOALS? Arsenal are without a shut-out in their last 14 games in all comps, their longest streak since a run of 21 games between October 1983-February 1984. As for Everton, the Blues have conceded at least once in 14 of their last 15 matches. And yet.........
CLOSE! Calvert-Lewin sees his goal-bound shot brilliantly blocked after good work by Richarlison on the left of the area.
ARSENAL CHANGE: Smith-Rowe off, Willock on.
On
J. Willock
Off
E. Smith Rowe
OPTA STAT: Since losing 2-6 at home to Tottenham in December last year, Everton have won four of their last five home Premier League games against London sides (D1).
Smith-Rowe combines well with Nelson down the right, but his curved cross is well gathered by Pickford.
Today's attendance is 39,336. They've had little to cheer in the first hour of this encounter.
