Everton are doing excellent to keep the ball in the Arsenal end. They're still attacking with pace as if they were the ones trailing, and they win yet another corner - their fifth in the last 10 minutes. It's now or never for the Gunners, but they can't get out of defence!
90' +1
T. Davies enters the game and replaces G. Sigurðsson.
The third and final change for the hosts sees Davies enter the fray in place of Sigurdsson.
90'
There will be a minimum of five minutes added on at the end of this match - news that's met with a groan from the home supporters.
88'
A. Lookman enters the game and replaces Bernard.
A second Everton change sees Lookman replace Bernard for the final minutes - this one more a tactic for the Toffees to wind down the clock.
86'
Nacho Monreal gets yellow.
Still time for Arsenal but it's Everton who are asking all the questions. The Toffees have a corner on the end of yet another threatening break, but the Gunners are adamant that it should be a goal kick, and their protests fall upon deaf ears. In fact, Monreal is booked for dissent at the end of it all.
82'
S. Mustafi gets yellow.
Very cynical from Mustafi who knows he's beaten by Calvert-Lewin and shows no restraint in impeding the striker's run as he sends him flying to ground up against the touchline. It's an obvious yellow for the centre-half.
79'
T. Walcott enters the game and replaces Richarlison.
A first change of the afternoon for Everton sees Walcott come on in place of Richarlison, and the ex-Arsenal player receives a loud ovation from both sets of supporters.
74'
A. Iwobi enters the game and replaces M. Özil.
Ozil hands the captain's armband to Ramsey as he makes his way off, replaced by Iwobi for the final 15 minutes.
70'
With Arsenal taking more chances this match has become increasingly stretched, but it's Everton who are looking likelier to take advantage. The Gunners aren't finding any joy higher up the pitch.

Description
68'
Crucial from Mustafi! Calvert-Lewin leads a dangerous attack and has options, with Arsenal short in numbers in defence. Bernard is crying out for a pass in acres of space to the striker's left, but Calvert-Lewin holds onto the ball far too long as Mustafi is able to intervene and snuff it out!
64'
This is following a very similar script to that Chelsea match a few weeks ago, with Everton doing so well to frustrate the visitors. They allowed even less room for Chelsea after taking the lead, and that's very much been the case here. Now they just need a second to put the result beyond doubt.
62'
Arsenal's lively start to the second half has waned significantly, as they appear to be running out of ideas yet again. Everton remain excellently organised, and they've got plenty of support behind the ball.
58'
Straightforward for Pickford, but that's a fine delivery from Mustafi who clips a deliciously inviting ball over the top for Lacazette. The striker just couldn't get enough power behind his header to test the Everton keeper.
54'
Arsenal have dominated since the restart, looking very comfortable in this new formation. It's a 4-3-3 now for the Gunners, with Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan flanking Lacazette, while Ramsey and Ozil play ahead of Guendouzi in midfield. Maitland-Niles and Monreal are the full-backs.
52'
Scuffed wide! Disappointing again from Ramsey as a corner comes all the way through for him, but he gets his shot all wrong from a bit of an awkward angle as he slices it miles wide at the near post under a bit of pressure from Sigurdsson.
50'
André Gomes gets yellow.
Gomes sees yellow and that seemed inevitable as he's finally penalised for what is more an accumulation of fouls than anything else.
46'
P. Aubameyang enters the game and replaces S. Kolašinac.
A. Ramsey enters the game and replaces Mohamed Elneny.
Aubameyang is also on to join Lacazette in attack, replacing Kolasinac. A signal of inent from Emery.
Two changes at the break for Arsenal, the first of which is an attacking change in midfield as Ramsey comes on for Elneny.
Underway in the second half!
45' +2
HALF-TIME: EVERTON 1-0 ARSENAL.
45'
There will be a minimum of two minutes added on at the end of this half.
43'
Emery watches on with a look of frustration as this first half hasn't at all gone according to plan. Everton are going to do their best to keep this as scrappy as possible, meaning it's up to Emery to make the necessary adjustments.
41'
Great defending! Arsenal concede a free-kick on the flank and as Monreal is discussing with the referee Everton take the free-kick instantly, hardly stopping the ball, as Richarlison is slipped through down the flank. There was nothing illegal about it, but luckily for Arsenal, Sokratis kept his focus and was able to get back and turn Richarlison's cross behind for a corner.
39'
It's Everton showing all the initiative here with time winding down in this first half. Arsenal need to see out this first half and get into the break to regroup. Lacazette comes back to latch onto a pass and is fouled hard by Zouma, but it's going to be a free-kick to Everton as Lacazette came back from an offside position. It's been that kind of day for the Gunners.
35'
Maitland-Niles' strike, blocked by Bernard, was Arsenal's only shot attempt in this first half. Everton have completely stifled them defensively, picking up where they left off in recent weeks, with Jagielka not missing a beat in Keane's absence.
33'
Lacazette attempts a one-two with Ozil, but runs straight into Gomes in a desperate attempt to win a free-kick and the referee is wise to it. Arsenal are very much lacking in ideas, and there's not a whole lot happening at the moment as a result.
31'
Arsenal's attacking threat has been non-existent over the last 15 minutes. They've hardly managed to keep an extended spell in possession, let alone advance the ball dangerously into the final third. This has all been very professional from Everton.
29'
The tenacity and dogged determination on display from Everton is being celebrated by these supporters, and Arsenal simply have not been able to match it. The Toffees are first to every ball and they're winning all the 50-50 duels. Now can they keep this intensity up?
25'
S. Papastathopoulos gets yellow.
It's yellow for Sokratis after a moment of deliberation from the referee. That was incredibly cynical from the Arsenal centre-half, but definitely not enough to warrant red.
24'
Outstanding defensive work from Bernard, who tracks all the way back and slides in at the vital moment to block a Maitland-Niles strike, following a tidy run from the Arsenal wing-back! Arsenal look to break quickly and Sigurdsson is taken out at the halfway line by Sokratis who prevents him from running onto the end of an inviting ball forward.
22'
This start from Everton has resulted in a hostile atmosphere in Goodison Park for the Gunners. These supporters are very much involved at the moment and this is the sort of energy the Toffees like to feed off. Arsenal desperately need something positive to help snatch momentum.
16'
Arsenal do seem a bit shaken after conceding that early goal, despite it being something they've grown accustomed to this season. It's the ninth goal they have conceded in the opening 15 minutes in this Premier League campaign, as their resilience is set to be tested once again. They're struggling to find a rhythm at the moment.
14'
More misery for Arsenal away from home, where they are looking for just a second win in the Premier League since November. It's another away match without a clean sheet, and now they have a tough road back against an Everton side that has been in fine form in that regard.
12'
What an impact from Jagielka, who wasn't even supposed to be in the side an hour ago! Keane was forced to drop out with an illness, paving the way for Jagielka to come in, and he's rewarded the Toffees with his first goal since April 15, 2017!
10'
P. Jagielka has scored a goal for Everton!
ARSENAL PEGGED BACK - EVERTON LEAD 1-0! A long throw from Digne - where his heel just appeared to be on the line - is flicked on at the near post and not dealt with by Arsenal, as it eventually bounces kindly into the path of Jagielka who turns it into an empty net from five yards!
6'
M. Guendouzi gets yellow.
Guendouzi picks up a yellow card as he arrives late and stomps on the foot of Digne, unintentionally, which leaves the full-back on the ground in need of some treatment.
4'
It has certainly been a positive start from Arsenal, who are playing with a lovely tempo about them, keen to push forward as soon as they get in possession. They have a lot to prove today, with their away form coming into question of late as they've struggled away from the Emirates.

AND THEY'RE OFF! Everton in blue as they get the match underway at Goodison Park, with Arsenal in red and white.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of this Premier League match as Everton welcome Arsenal to Goodison Park!
Arsenal open the weekend in the Champions League places and are guaranteed to end it there as well, but this presents a unique opportunity for them to gain ground on all their closest competitors as they can move two above Spurs, three ahead of Chelsea and five up on Manchester United.
In Arsenal’s way is an Everton side rounding into form on the back of successive victories in the league for the first time since October, and they seem to have figured things out in defence with four clean sheets from their last five matches.
The Toffees are set to play a big role in the top-four race down the stretch. Having just beaten Chelsea a few weeks ago, they welcome Arsenal to Goodison today ahead of dates with Manchester United and Tottenham over the season’s final month.
EVERTON (4-2-3-1): Jordan Pickford; Seamus Coleman, Michael Keane, Kurt Zouma, Lucas Digne; Andre Gomes, Idrissa Gueye; Richarlison, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Bernard; Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
SUBS: Tom Davies, Phil Jagielka, Maarten Stekelenburg, Cenk Tosun, Theo Walcott, Leighton Baines, Ademola Lookman.
SUBS: Stephan Lichtsteiner, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Carl Jenkinson, Aaron Ramsey, Alex Iwobi, Petr Cech, Denis Suarez.
Emery certainly isn't adverse to making early changes, and given how that first half played out it would be no surprise to see him tweak things at the interval. Perhaps Aubameyang will be called upon at the break, or maybe Ramsey will be brought on with the Gunners needing a combative spark in midfield.
The top-four race is intensifying by the week, with all signs pointing to it coming down to the last game of the season. The margin for error is razor thin, and while Arsenal have been in good form – unbeaten in six in the league – they’ve won just once away from home since November.
Up next for Everton is a trip to already-relegated Fulham, while Arsenal visit Watford in the league next weekend after a home date with Napoli in the Europa League on Thursday. That's all for our live coverage, thanks for following along. Goodbye!
