After being held to a 1-1 draw by Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League, Mikel Arteta’s men will look to rediscover their rhythm and exploit the home advantage in front of a passionate Emirates crowd.

Everton arrive in strong shape following a 2-0 victory over Burnley, with David Moyes having his side in top-seven contention and boasting the fourth-best away record in the league.

The Toffees will test Arsenal’s defensive resilience, but the hosts are confident: Arsenal have avoided defeat in their last six league encounters with Everton, and Bukayo Saka, the electrifying Nigerian-descent winger, is expected to be pivotal once again, potentially providing the decisive moments from his precise deliveries and attacking instincts.

Selection dilemmas abound for Arteta, with Martin Ødegaard and Leandro Trossard doubts following midweek knocks, while Mikel Merino is the only confirmed absentee.

Everton, on the other hand, is nearly fully prepared, with only Jack Grealish, Seamus Coleman, and Carlos Alcaraz missing.

With both sides having momentum to maintain and European and domestic ambitions on the line, this clash promises end-to-end action, set-piece drama, and moments of individual brilliance.
