Arsenal finally play their game in hand as we take on Everton at the Emirates Stadium knowing victory will see us go five points clear at the top of the table.

Aaron Ramsdale lines-up in goal once again while Ben White starts at right-back ahead of Takehiro Tomiyasu. Oleksandr Zinchenko keeps his place at left-back so Kieran Tierney misses out on a starting spot.

Mikel Arteta has stuck with his first choice centre-back pairing with William Saliba and Gabriel starting in the middle of Arsenal’s back four once again this evening. Rob Holding and Jakub Kiwior are named among the substitutes.

Thomas Partey was back in action at the weekend after overcoming a muscle issue. He came off the bench during the win at Leicester City but he’s still not deemed fit enough to start so has to make-do with a place on the bench. Jorginho was terrific against Leicester and keeps his place tonight.

Granit Xhaka keeps his place in the middle of the park and Martin Odegaard skippers Arsenal once again, which means that Fabio Vieira and Emile Smith Rowe are named on the bench.

Bukayo Saka starts on the right flank tonight with Gabriel Martinelli on the opposite side of Arsenal’s attack. Leandro Trossard impressed through the middle at the weekend and keeps his place ahead of Eddie Nketiah.

Here are the line-ups:

Arsenal

Turner, Tierney, Partey, Smith Rowe, Nketiah, Kiwior, Holding, Tomiyasu, Vieira.

Subs: Turner, Tierney, Partey, Smith Rowe, Nketiah, Kiwior, Holding, Tomiyasu, Vieira.

Everton

Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Tarkowski, Mykolenko, Gueye, Iwobi, Doucoure, Onana, McNeil, Maupay.

Subs: Begovic, Holgate, Gray, Mina, Godfrey, Davies, Vinagre, Coady, Simms.
