ArsenalSummary
Generated byArsenal sit joint-top of the Premier League on 21 points after beating Everton 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium, with Manchester City dropping points against Aston Villa on the same afternoon. The result matters beyond the three points. It confirmed that Arteta's side can grind out wins without their most dangerous attacker, with centre-backs Ezri Konsa and Gabriel Magalhaes both scoring in a disciplined, set-piece-driven performance that former Arsenal defender Martin Keown described on BBC's Match of the Day as evidence of the Premier League's best defensive partnership.
The concern running beneath the positive result is the fitness picture. Bukayo Saka was forced off in Wednesday's 2-2 Champions League draw at Bayern Munich with a quad problem, and reports indicate he could miss up to 12 matches before Christmas. Riccardo Calafiori also picked up a knock late against Everton, adding to a list that already includes William Saliba and Christos Tzolis. Arteta did not hide his frustration with the fixture schedule, calling it "terrible" after his side played three times in six days across two countries.
Gabriel's contribution against Everton also carried a personal milestone, his 200th Premier League appearance, and [the Brazilian spoke on the club's official website](https://www.arsenal.com/news/goalscoring-gabriel-reveals-pride-on-his-landmark-day-aS3TN1z1akWI) about his pride in the occasion. Arsenal next travel to face Fleetwood Town in the Carabao Cup fourth round on Tuesday before a Premier League trip to Liverpool follows at the weekend.
