It was actually in this reverse fixture that he scored his last goal eight games ago.
And obviously a lot's gone on in his personal life since then in terms of he's become a father again.
He's had a glute injury from a football aspect.
So it's about getting him back up to speed.
So whether they can both have a fully fit Wilfred and Didi to break up those periods of play from City and can exploit
Well, it's a good question.
I think if you were to speak to many Arsenal fans, they might say that in terms of the impact Arteta has had, it may not necessarily have yet translated itself in results.
They've had a lot of games where they've just looked like they're a more cohesive unit, and yet they've still struggled to kind of shake off the kind of bad habits from a previous regime where maybe...
they've been lacklustre in front of goal or they might have appeared in a game where the opposition have enjoyed possession and they've maybe been fortunate to avoid falling behind.
I'm thinking of Burnley away, for example.
It was a weird one because I actually covered that game and you came out of it thinking how on earth Arsenal are so far off the pace still and yet because they were drawing a lot of games they were kind of avoiding a lot of the speculation and the heat and obviously they'd obviously just changed their manager anyway.
So you give someone like Arteta time and you feel like
he's the right appointment.
But going back to December 21st when these two teams first met, it just felt like an absolute non-event.
The main event had happened in the midweek leading up to the game.
It was obviously before Christmas and Everton had just appointed Kyle Ancelotti and there was a lot of talk who's going to have Arteta, who's going to have Ancelotti, who should be at which club almost, which is the better fit.
You can kind of understand if the roles reversed.
And there was just, I think, one chance in that game.
It was just a dreadful outing.
And since then, obviously, Everton, from a results perspective, have taken 17 points from their eight Premier League games under Ancelotti.
