TWIN THREATS - BAINES & PIENAAR

There are not many teams in the Premier League whose main attacking threat comes from their left back, but that is a measure of how impressive Leighton Baines has been this season. The England international has been in superb form, scoring five times in the Premier League and also claiming five assists.

But perhaps his most impressive statistic is the fact that he has created 102 chances that directly led to goalscoring opportunities. This is the best in the league, and outstrips the Spanish trio of David Silva, Juan Mata and Arsenal's Santi Cazorla - more traditional playmakers.

Not only will Arsenal have to deal with the threat posed by Baines, but also that of Steven Pienaar. The South African midfielder returned to Goodison Park after a short spell at Tottenham, and has slotted back in seamlessly - laying on 64 'key passes' for his team-mates this season.

Both players will need to be kept quiet on Tuesday night if Arsenal are to claim the victory that would cement their hopes of a top-four place.
