I’m gasping for a Siggy

-

ROLL-UP for Gylfi Sigurdsson to get Arsenal fans huffing and puffing at the Emirates this afternoon.

The Gunners shuffled the pack for the Europa League on Thursday, showed plenty of graft and polish – then let in two goals in the last 20 minutes when 4-0 up.

Back to the first-choice Arsenal backline today (4pm) but Everton will still fancy their chances of goals, with Richarliso­n returned from his ban.

Everton’s defence remains an accident black spot too, so the scorer punt to have first is Pierre-emerick Aubameyang at 5/6.

The problem here for the Toffees’ zonal theory of ‘marking space’ is that the lightspeed Gunner can be in two places at once and still get back before he left.

Big-price fans want Sigurdsson (above) ‘anytime’ at 6/1 (Fred).

In the last two years big-game Siggy’s scored for underdogs at the Etihad, Emirates, Old Trafford and Anfield. Last week: Winners at 11/5 and 11/4

Back in-form Ousmane Dembele ‘anytime’ for Barca (7.45pm) at 11/8 (Coral)
