Comments:

League position: 15th With Carlo Ancelotti confirmed as Everton's new manager earlier on this day, this was Duncan Ferguson's last game in caretaker charge. Cenk Tosun became the third substitute to be substituted in a game so far in this Premier League season and all three had been made by the Toffees; also Moise Kean versus Manchester United and Alex Iwobi versus Manchester City. They had now kept a clean sheet in two of their last 16 games in the Premier League. Everton had now drawn 300 of their 1,056 games in the Premier League (won 382, lost 374).

Comments:

League position: 11th With Mikel Arteta confirmed as Arsenal's new manager on the previous day, this was Freddie Ljungberg's last game in caretaker charge. This was the Gunners' first goalless draw in the Premier League since their visit to West Ham United on 13 December 2017. They had now won one of their last 13 games in all competitions. At an average of 24 years and 50 days, this was Arsenal's youngest starting line-up in a game in the Premier League since 22 May 2011 at Fulham (24 years and 24 days).
