Sport prediction Everton and Arsenal have bored their new managers
Everton and Arsenal played a rather mediocre first leg of the 18th round of the Premier League after finishing 0-0 at Goodison Park in a match in which goal positions were a rarity. The meeting was watched live by new team managers Mikel Arteta and Carlo Ancelotti. Fabian Delph returned to the `caramel` squad after not playing since November 3. Ferguson otherwise made three changes compared to the match predicted by bestsportpredictions against Manchester United at Old Trafford. Mason Holgate replaced Michael Keane at center-back, and Jibril Sidibe also started at right-back.
Lungberg made five changes compared to the loss to Manchester City. Bukayo Saka, David Lewis, Granit Jaco, Rhys Nelson and Emil Smith-Row were the holders. Mesut Ozil remained out of the group, and Nicholas Pepe and Alexandre Lacazette were among the reserves for the start.
Duncan Ferguson had to make a forced substitution as early as the 11th minute as Euboe received a layup. Jenk Tosun came in to replace him. Everton had a certain advantage in the first half, in which both teams failed to strike either a single shot or create any more special clean positions. Sigurdson once fired a direct free kick, but the ball went wide. At the end of the half, Davis punched well and centered toward Tosun, who was knee-deep but above the crossbar. Immediately afterwards, the guests created their first more interesting attack and made their first shot at the match. Martinelli was well taken out of Torreira, but he shoots incorrectly.
Arsenal got off to a much better second half. In the 51st minute, a corner kick was diverted head-first into the far beam by Chambers. Aubameyang caught a close look, but Pickford showed great reflexes and cellars.
In the 68th minute, Richardson punched well in the penalty area, and then returned to Calvert-Lewin, his shot was not blocked self-sacrifice by Torreira. VAR checked out a possible hand game that the hosts claimed, but there was no duo.
After the subsequent corner, there was a Wilco hand play, but there was no signal again.
In the 78th minute, Lacazette replaced Aubameyang. It didn`t change anything.
So Duncan Ferguson ended his period as Everton manager without a loss in regular time. Freddie Lungberg, on the other hand, was left with one win in his five games at the head of Arsenal.
