Everton team news, focus
Injuries have really calmed down for the Toffees and that gives Moyes a few extra attacking options. Both Ndiaye and Chermiti are back, while Broja is also now a good option off the bench too. Beto continues to lead the line superbly well and if Everton can get Harrison, Alcaraz and Doucoure close to him with their midfield runs they will cause Arsenal plenty of problems on the transition.
OUT: Jesper Lindstrom (groin), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (thigh), Orel Mangala (knee) | QUESTIONABLE: Dwight McNeil (knee)
Arsenal team news, focus
With Timber, Gabriel, Calafiori and White all going down with injuries over the last week or so, Arsenal’s defensive issues have once again come to the fore. Just when Saka returned to give them a big boost, they’ve been hit again. Injuries have been so unkind to the Gunners this season but they’re doing all they can to stay in the title race. They’ve only lost one of their last 20 Premier League games but they’re still 12 points behind Liverpool. Saka could start in this game, while Partey is likely to play at right back with Kiwior coming in at center back.
OUT: Gabriel Magalhaes (hamstring – MORE), Riccardo Calafiori (knee), Kai Havertz (hamstring – MORE), Gabriel Jesus (torn ACL – out for season), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) | QUESTIONABLE: Ben White (knee), Jurrien Timber (undisclosed)
Everton vs Arsenal prediction
This feels like it’s going to be tight and tense as Arteta meets his old boss Moyes. But Arsenal’s extra quality (see: Saka, Bukayo) will see them through. Everton 1-2 Arsenal.
