Arsenal
Arsenal's defensive injury crisis appeared to take another turn for the worse when Thomas Partey and Jurrien Timber missed training on Tuesday, but both were able to take to the field against Monaco, the former in his makeshift right-back role.
Riccardo Calafiori (knee), Gabriel Magalhaes (unspecified), Oleksandr Zinchenko (muscle), Ben White (knee) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) all missed out, but Arteta has confirmed that Gabriel is training again and in contention to return.
Timber was only considered for a substitute appearance in the visit of Monaco, allowing Myles Lewis-Skelly to make a big impression at left-back, but the Dutchman should replace his teenage colleague in one of a couple of alterations from the hosts.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Raya; Partey, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Odegaard, Rice, Merino; Saka, Havertz, Trossard
Everton
Meanwhile, Everton's extended break has allowed Dyche and co more time to recover their injured troops, and there is a good chance that defender Michael Keane will be back from a knee complaint in time to face the Gunners.
However, Chermiti (unspecified), James Garner (back) and Tim Iroegbunam (ankle) are all expected to miss the trip to the Emirates, where Dyche will surely see no need to alter the starting XI from the midweek mauling of Wolves.
As such, Dominic Calvert-Lewin - sensationally linked with a January transfer to Arsenal - should keep Beto at bay up front, despite now going 10 matches without scoring a goal in the Premier League.
Everton possible starting lineup:
Pickford; Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Mangala, Gueye; Ndiaye, Doucoure, McNeil; Calvert-Lewin
Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Everton
