The Gunners received a long-awaited boost as Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger announced midfielder Aaron Ramsey will return to the squad for Sunday's Premier League match against Everton at Goodison Park. The Welsh midfielder scored 13 goals in 27 appearances this season before suffering a severe thigh injury at West Ham on Boxing Day.
"Having someone like Ramsey, who can help the team be successful, is very important," said Wenger. "He has worked very hard in training but what he lacks is competition." The comeback couldn't have come in a better moment for Arsenal as the Gunners are currently in fourth place and just four points ahead of Everton but the Toffees have a game in hand. The Gunners will also have the FA Cup semi-final to worry about, they will be facing Wigan on April 12th.
Arsenal are currently seven points behind league leaders Liverpool with six games left in the season, so the title challenge seems highly unlikely at the moment. Wenger said: "Every game becomes vital. We have a small chance of winning the title, but we have to give everything to make it possible." Meanwhile Everton boss Roberto Martinez received a fitness boost of his own as wing-back Bryan Oviedo will return from a broken leg before the end of the season.
Here are the odds at Bet365 for Sunday's match:
Everton win - 6/4
