McFadden hoping to banish Arsenal demons

James McFadden is hoping for the chance tonight to finally wipe away the memory of a clash with Arsenal that all but wrecked his Everton career.

It was the first day of the season when Everton were mauled 4-1 by a stunning Arsenal display at Goodison Park that had the Toffees labelled as relegation fodder and McFadden dumped from the side for six months.
