Match Time：4/24/2021 03:00 Saturday  (GMT+8)

English Premier League --  Arsenal   VS   Everton

-----------------------------------

Team News

Arsenal will again be without the services of David Luiz and Kieran Tierney through injury, while a hamstring problem is likely to keep Alexandre Lacazette on the sidelines for the next few weeks.

Martin Odegaard could be back in the squad following a foot injury, but there will not be a return for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who was recently treated in hospital after contracting malaria.

Gabriel Martinelli could start through the middle as Lacazette and Aubameyang are both unavailable, although Nketiah, who scored against Fulham, is another option.

Arteta is likely to make changes from the side that started against the Cottagers last time out, with Nicolas Pepe and Thomas Partey both in line for starts.

As for Everton, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Jean-Philippe Gbamin are still unavailable for selection, but Ancelotti has revealed that he otherwise has a full squad to choose from on Friday.

Indeed, Fabian Delph, Yerry Mina and Bernard are available for the trip to the Emirates Stadium, while Andre Gomes is back from a thigh problem, and the Toffees will be boosted by the return of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has been struggling with an abductor problem.

The Toffees could go to a back three to make room for Calvert-Lewin's return, with Seamus Coleman potentially returning to the starting XI, allowing Ben Godfrey to move into a central position once again.

Tom Davies will be under pressure from Gomes should the Portuguese prove his fitness in the build up to kickoff, but the former might retain his position in the middle alongside fit-again Allan.

Forecast: Arsenal 1-2 Everton
