Arsenal vs Everton: TV channel, live stream, team news & preview
Arsenal have turned around a desolate start to the season that included consecutive losses against Chelsea and Manchester City with three straight Premier League wins, and will look for a fourth when they welcome Everton at the Emirates on Sunday afternoon.
The Gunners will be optimistic of their chances against an Everton side who are 12th in the table – though it will be a game that sees the return of Richarlison, who has served his three-match ban.
There will also be a reunion for former Arsenal player Theo Walcott following his January switch to Goodison Park.

Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Alexandre Lacazette make it back into the fold after being rested for the Europa League clash against Vorskla earlier in the week.
Lucas Torreira picked up a knock in the fixture but is deemed fit enough to feature against Everton, while Lauren Koscielny, Sead Kolasinac, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Carl Jenkinson are all out with injury.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan also picked up a knock against Vorskla and misses out.
Arsenal XI: Cech, Bellerin, Sokratis, Mustafi, Monreal, Xhaka, Torreira, Ramsey, Ozil, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Richarlison returns to the starting lineup after serving a three-match suspension.
The Brazilian is the club's joint-top scorer, having scored three goals in his first two games before being sent off against Bournemouth last month, but new arrival Yerry Mina is still waiting on his debut after recovering from a foot issue.
Phil Jagielka will return to match fitness next week after picking up a knee injury, while Andre Gomes (hamstring) and Seamus Coleman (foot) are absentees.
Everton XI: Pickford; Kenny, Zouma, Keane, Digne; Gueye, Davies; Walcott, Sigurdsson, Richarlison; Calvert-Lewin.

Match Preview
Arsenal are unbeaten in 24 home matches against Everton in all competitions and will look to extend the streak when they host the Toffees on Sunday.
The Gunners won their Europa League fixture against Vorskla through a Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang effort, contrasted to an Everton side who have freshly registered a 3-1 defeat to West Ham.
They will no doubt be motivated by the return of star player Richarlison, however, who also managed to net twice in his first ever senior call-up to the Brazil side during the international break and who will no doubt be fired up after three weeks on the sidelines.
Silva will be looking to pick up a first away win as Toffees manager when his side travel to the Emirates, though it will be no mean feat with the in-form Aubameyang and the likes of Ozil returning to the quad.
Walcott admitted he “fell out of love with football” towards the end of his time at Arsenal as he struggled for regular game time under Arsene Wenger, and the forward will be eager to make his mark at his former home.
