ARSENAL vs EVERTON
Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta has no fresh injury concerns.
It remains to be seen if Mesut Ozil will return to the squad as he missed Thursday’s Europa League victory in Olympiakos as his wife is close to giving birth, while Lucas Torreira should be available following illness.
Pablo Mari is still waiting to make his Gunners debut while fellow new recruit Cedric Soares (knee) remains sidelined – as do Kieran Tierney (shoulder) and Calum Chambers (knee).
Everton midfielder Andre Gomes is available after recovering from a serious ankle injury. Manager Carlo Ancelotti will decide whether Gomes, who has been sidelined since November 3, will start or have to settle for a place on the bench.
Fabian Delph is available after serving a one-match ban but Theo Walcott is a doubt.
