Mikel Arteta returns to former club Everton this afternoon as he takes his Arsenal side to Goodison Park.

Everton are still searching for their first win of the new Premier League season and would love to do it against Arsenal.

Sean Dyche goes with Jordan PIckford in goal behind a back four of Ashley Young, James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite and Vitaliy Mykolenko.

It’s a combative midfield three for Everton today Amadou Onana, Idrissa Gana Gueye and Abdoulaye Doucoure all starting.

Beto leads the line up top with support from Dwight McNeil and Arnaut Danjuma.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is only on the bench, joining Joao Virginia, Nathan Patterson, Michael Keane, Ben Godfrey, James Garner, Tyler Onyango, Lewis Dobbin and Youssef Chermiti.

Arteta has made a big decision with David Raya coming into the side in place of Aaron Ramsdale.

The Daily Mail reported in the international break that Arteta was tempted to drop Ramsdale for 28-year-old summer signing Raya.

That has now proven true with the Spaniard handed a start at Goodison Park.

William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes continue at centre back with Ben White and Oleksandr Zinchenko as the full backs.

Declan Rice will sit in midfield with Fabio Vieira coming into the side in place of Kai Havertz, joining Martin Odegaard in an attacking midfield role.

Eddie Nketiah leads the line again with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli out wide.
