Arsenal are in torrid form at the moment and their fixture list isn’t looking much easier in the next few weeks with Manchester City and Chelsea on the horizon, but before they face those two they have to overcome another tough task as they prepare to face Everton at Goodison Park.
The Toffees have played some scintillating stuff at times this season, and with the Gunners’ recent woes, they won’t be relishing the prospect of playing against the top goalscorer in the league in the shape of Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
However, with that being said, the FA Cup champions have proven that they have enough about them to beat any team in the league when they’re at their best, but in order to do that, Mikel Arteta has to get his team selection spot on.
We’ve had a go at predicting how Arsenal will line-up for this one.
We think that Arteta will make two changes for this one, while also opting for a minor change in shape.
Indeed, the Gunners’ five at the back system just isn’t working, so we think they may switch back to a 4-2-3-1.
The back four is where the two changes are for this one.
One of those changes is an enforced one after Gabriel Magalhaes’ red card against Southampton, so David Luiz partners Rob Holding at the back for this one.
Meanwhile, Hector Bellerin comes back into the side for Mohamed Elneny, with Ainsley Maitland-Niles moving up into the midfield.
The rest of the side is about what you’d expect it to be, but it is interesting to note that we don’t expect the much-criticised Willian to come back into the side after being dropped for the Southampton game in midweek.
