But before the match, fans made their opinions clear on the club’s hierarchy.

Supporters marched the streets around Goodison Park with banners that slammed the way the club is being managed by the board.

A plane even flew over the stadium just after kick-off that claimed the Everton chiefs are the worst in the league.

Chairman Bill Kenwright, owner Farhad Moshiri and chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale were the main targets of the protest.

Banners read, “board full of liars” and “your time is up, get out of our club”.

Another was aimed particularly at Moshiri, attacking him for “keeping the club a dinosaur.”

The Everton board are not in attendance at the game with Arsenal as they have again been advised to stay away for security reasons.

In their last home fixture versus Southampton, those in charge of the club were told not to go to the stadium as it was deemed “high risk” with ongoing campaigns against them.

That advice reportedly remains in place.

It comes after some Everton fans approached players such as Yerry Mina after the 2-1 defeat to the Saints.

Everton’s Finch Farm training ground was also targeted by furious supporters this week after the club failed to make a signing in the January transfer window.
