Arsenal is gearing up for a clash against Everton following their impressive win against Manchester United before the international break. The team has shown promise this season, securing 10 points from their initial four games. However, their recent record at Goodison Park isn’t encouraging, having failed to win in their last five encounters there, losing four times.
In this fixture against a struggling Everton side, Arsenal is eager to clinch a victory. Everton hasn’t managed a win this season, losing three out of their first four league games.
Regarding the anticipated Arsenal lineup against Everton, there have been discussions about Mikel Arteta considering David Raya as the starting goalkeeper over Aaron Ramsdale. Nonetheless, Ramsdale is expected to continue as the goalkeeper for Arsenal, leaving Raya on the bench.
In defense, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes are likely to form the center-back pairing, with Benjamin White on the right and Oleksandr Zinchenko on the left. Takehiro Tomiyasu might find himself on the bench. Jakob Kiwior is also likely to start from the bench. Jurrien Timber won’t be featuring due to a knee injury that will keep him out for a significant portion of the season.
In midfield, Declan Rice is expected to play the deep-lying playmaker role, accompanied by Kai Havertz in a box-to-box position and Martin Odegaard as the attacking midfielder. Jorginho and Fabio Vieira are likely to be substitutes. Unfortunately, Thomas Partey will remain sidelined due to a muscle injury.
On the wings, Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka are expected to start, relegating Reiss Nelson, Leandro Trossard, and Emile Smith Rowe to the substitutes. Gabriel Jesus, acquired for £45 million last summer, is likely to be fit for the starting lineup, potentially pushing Eddie Nketiah to the bench.
