Five-star Arsenal eviscerate Everton to leave Ronald Koeman on the brink

Well that is all we have time for on this Premier League live blog. Join us for live coverage of Tottenham vs Liverpool here, but until next time goodbye.

Full time: Everton 2-5 Arsenal

The pressure continue to swell around Ronald Koeman, whose position as Everton manager looks even more uncertain after they are thumped by Arsenal.

Wayne Rooney gave the hosts the lead but that is as good as it got. Alexandre Lacazette, Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez started together for the first time and all got in on the act to give the Gunners a comfortable win in a game they dominated from start to finish.

As for Koeman, he may be collecting his P45 sooner rather than later.

GOAL! Everton 2-5 Arsenal (Alexis Sanchez)

GOAL! Everton 2-4 Arsenal (Oumar Niasse)

Everton get a much-needed consolation but what a mess from Arsenal. Nacho Monreal leaves his back-pass to Cech short and Niasse beats Cech to the ball and puts into an empty net.

Watch Mesut Ozil's key second goal here.

GOAL! Everton 1-4 Arsenal (Aaron Ramsey)

The Wales international gets the goal that his performance deserves. Ramsey collects Wilshere's pass in his stride and wrong-foots Pickford to find the net.

Granit Xhaka thumps the crossbar as Arsenal threaten a fourth. Everton trying to run down the clock but they can't stop the wave after wave of attacks by the visitors.

Alexandre Lacazette nets the third to give Arsenal all three points.

GOAL! Everton 1-3 Arsenal (Alexandre Lacazette)

Game over at Goodison. Arsenal capitalise on a poor Vlasic pass to make it three. Sanchez releases Ozil who takes his time and tees up Lacazette, who fires home unmarked.

Red card: Idriss Gueye (Everton)

I highlighted in the first half how significant the yellow card for Idrissa Gueye could prove and it has rung true for Everton. The Senegal midfield dives in and catches Granit Xhaka, and referee Craig Pawson has no choice but to show a second yellow. Still over 20 minutes to go.

Mesut Ozil celebrated putting Arsenal into the lead.

Arsenal continue to push for what would be a fatal third goal, as far as Everton would be concerned. Sanchez collects the ball from a corner and sees his shot deflected to safety but he can't reign in the rebound and Everton clear.

GOAL! Everton 1-2 Arsenal (Mesut Ozil)

They may be out of contract but Ozil and Sanchez have proven themselves to be priceless as they thrust Arsenal ahead for the first time. Sanchez crosses from the left and Mesut Ozil floats a header over Pickford and into the roof of the net.

Nacho Monreal drives Arsenal level just before half time.

Back under way at Goodison. Tom Davies on for Ashley Williams for Everton.

Half time: Everton 1-1 Arsenal

Wonderful first half full of defensive mishaps and attacking flare. Arsenal have dominated the half but Wayne Rooney's curling effort on the anniversary of his first Premier League goal, put the hosts ahead.

Arsenal netted a deserved equaliser when Nacho Monreal slammed home and it could have been more for the Gunners who have created half a dozen decent chances. Jordan Pickford has been a busy man.

Two added minutes at Goodison. A half that no-one wants to end. Brilliant entertainment.

GOAL! Everton 1-1 Arsenal (Nacho Monreal)

Arsenal get the goal which they thoroughly deserve. Granit Xhaka forces Pickford into a good low stop but it is Monreal who reacts fastest and he hammers through the England youngster to net just his second Premier League goal.

Idrissa Gueye now booked for Everton for a late challenge. Big moment potentially in this game, with the Senegal international key to breaking up Arsenal attacks.

Ashley Williams, already on a yellow card, fouls Alexis Sanchez and the Arsenal players want referee Crag Pawson to show a red card. The official appears more bothered by the protests, led by Sanchez, than the challenge itself which is refreshing to see. It stays 11 vs 11 for now.

Wayne Rooney rolls back the years to put Everton ahead against Arsenal.

Calvert-Lewin with his first opening but his flicked header doesn't trouble Cech. The game has finally settled down a bit, but it has been a frantic first 27 minutes.

Lacazette has enough effort on goal, already his third of the game but sees the effort deflect off Williams and go behind for a corner. Everton deal with the set-piece but they're yet to stem the flow of Arsenal chances.

Sixteen years to the day that Rooney announced himself to the English game with THAT goal against Arsenal, he puts Everton ahead again. It is like he has never been away.

Suddenly it is Arsenal who look all at sea at the back. Cech is fortunate not to be punished after Calvert-Lewin closes him down in the box, blocking his pass across the penalty area. Cech escapes but Arsenal are struggling with his high press.

GOAL! Everton 1-0 Arsenal (Wayne Rooney)

Football eh? Arsenal have dominated the early stages but it is Everton who take the lead. Idrissa Gueye wins the ball in the Arsenal final third and the ball falls to Rooney who takes his time and on the anniversary of that famous strike against the Gunners as an 18-year-old he curls the ball beyond Petr Cech. Amazing.

Eleven minutes in....

Another chance for Arsenal and it appears to be a matter of when and not if. Bellerin feeds Ramsey, whose cross picks out Lacazette who turns on a sixpence but it denied by Pickford from six yards. The Frenchman remains without an away goal for the Gunners.

Arsenal's movement is proving too much for Everton's back three at the moment and it takes Pickford to come to the rescue again as he turns behind Lacazette's shot from the angle.

Yet he must wait for his first Premier League start.

Everton are at sixes and sevens at the back and it takes Pickford to confront Sanchez on the edge of the box to prevent Arsenal having another chance on goal. Not the start the hosts would have wanted.

Three minutes in and Arsenal cut Everton to ribbons. Sanchez and Ozil combine to feed Ramsey, and it takes a fine diving stop from Pickford to turn the ball behind.

Under way at Goodison Park.

Alexis Sanchez is back for Arsenal this afternoon. Can he inspire the visitors?

Both teams are out to Goodison Park. Arsenal have just one point from 12 on the road, Everton have won two from 12; who can prevail from the teams on the brink of crisis? Kick-off on the way.

On the final day of last season, Aaron Ramsey did this. Can he reproduce this today?

There is of pressure on the shoulders of Dominic Calvert-Lewin today, with Everton desperate for some movement in the attacking third. Their lack of pace and dynamism has been their major flaw this term but the England youth international will lead the attack today and has pace and directness in his artillery.

Ten-man Everton beat Arsenal in the reverse fixture last season, with Ashley Williams netting a late winner. The Toffees showed great character that night, but they'll need even more of that this afternoon if they're to take all three points from Arsenal again.

Yesterday was another typically exciting and dramatic day in the Premier League. Chelsea came from behind to beat Watford, Huddersfield shocked Manchester United and Manchester City went five points clear by beating Burnley. Catch up with all the action in our respective live blogs.

Sky Sports are running the VT from the last time Tottenham and Liverpool met at Wembley in what was a 3-1 win for the Reds in the 1982 League Cup final. The days when shorts were thigh length and tackles were actually allowed.

Atmosphere building at Goodison Park ahead of kick-off.

Not only is it Arsene Wenger's 68th birthday today, but it is also his 400th away game in the Premier League. He averages 1.68 points per game on the road yet the last 10 years has represented a major decline for the Gunners. With Ozil, Sanchez and Lacazette starting for the first time today, can they role back the years?

Some more reaction to those reporting linking David Moyes with a return to Everton. Here is one of his form cohorts Leon Osman.

Big afternoon for Arsenal.

Arsenal make three changes from the defeat to Watford. Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil return, while Aaron Ramsey comes into the midfield. Jack Wilshere is on the bench and there is no place for Danny Welbeck.

Six changes for Everton from the Europa League defeat to Lyon. In come Jonjo Kenny, Idrissa Gueye, Phil Jagielka, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Wayne Rooney and Leighton Baines.

Teams in from Goodison Park....

If you haven't already canvassed the Sunday papers this morning, you may have missed reports suggesting that David Moyes is being lined up to replace Ronald Koeman if Everton's poor results continue.

The Mirror understand the Toffees are considering Moyes to replace Koeman, though the Scottish FA are also interested in him replacing Gordon Strachan as the Scotland manager.

How would you take that Everton fans?

Morgan Schneiderlin limped out of the Europa League defeat to Lyon, and looks unlikely to play this afternoon.

Arsenal were seven games unbeaten until they went to Watford last week. They took the lead through Per Mertesacker, but a dodgy penalty and a fortunate late goal saw the Hornets take all three points.

The Gunners returned to winning ways with a narrow win at Red Star Belgrade in mid-week, but despite their good record on Merseyside these sorts of games have often caught out Arsene Wenger's teams in recent years. The question is can Everton's fans create a caldron-like atmosphere against the backdrop of their own problems.

Who will Everton go with this afternoon. This could be a pivotal afternoon for Ronald Koeman.

Both teams should be with us in around half an hour, but how are we expecting them to line up?

Everton are expected to recall Wayne Rooney after he was left out of the Europa League loss to Lyon. Gylfi Sigurdsson, Leighton Baines, Idrissa Gueye and Phil Jagielka may also return, while James McCarthy is fit again after a knee problem.

Arsenal are without Danny Welbeck, Santi Cazorla and Shkodran Mustafi. Alexis Sanchez and Petr Cech are both expected to return, while Aaron Ramsey and Lauren Koscielny face late fitness tests.

How close is Ronald Koeman to the Everton exit door? The Dutchman spent £140m in the summer but results have not following, with just two wins coming in the last 12 and eight points arriving in eight games in the Premier League.

Arsenal have a fine record at Goodison Park and are chasing a Premier League record 12th win in the blue half of Merseyside. Defeat at Watford last week curtailed a fine run of form but the Gunners have shown in dispatches they can be derailed by passion and fight, as much as quality and verve.

All the teams news and build-up ahead of the 1:30pm kick-off on the way.
