Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger:
"Van Persie is out as a precaution. We don't want to gamble at this stage on a muscular problem," he told Arsenal TV. "We had a little alert with Robin but it's not big at all."
Everton manager David Moyes:
"I want us to be strong and continue to progress but we need to have an even stronger squad.
"At the start of this season we strengthened the squad and I think it showed by our performances but since January it has been a bit of a drain.
"Quality will always be first but I think quantity as well is required."
