Our under-23s go into Monday night's game against Everton having won five of their last six Premier League 2 matches.
Our recent strong run has seen us rise to fifth in the table, just three points behind London rivals Chelsea, with a game in hand over the Blues.
The Gunners have drawn just once this season in 14 games in this competition, winning seven times and losing on six occasions.
We last suffered a defeat when we visited Merseyside and lost 3-2 to Liverpool at Anfield on December 12, 2016.
THE OPPOSITION
Monday night’s hosts are currently top of the table, holding a three-point lead over second-placed Manchester City having played a game less.
