History
The first competitive match between the two clubs took place in 1893.
Everton enjoyed success in the early years, with their strong team dominating English football. Arsenal’s fortunes changed dramatically in the 1930s under legendary manager Herbert Chapman. The Gunners also secured their first league title in the 1930/1931 season. In the 1934/1935 season, Arsenal clinched their second title, narrowly edging out Everton.
The 1990s and early 2000s saw Arsenal under the management of Arsène Wenger. Wenger’s “Invincibles” team went unbeaten in the 2003/2004 season, further fueling the rivalry. Memorable clashes included the FA Cup final in 1998, where Arsenal triumphed 2-0.
