Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Everton, Pepe and Mari start

Arsenal are scheduled to host Everton in the Premier League tonight.

The Gunners are currently ninth in the league standings, but they can leapfrog the Toffees on goal difference with a victory.

Mikel Arteta may pick his strongest possible side for the game in preparation for the Europa League meeting against Villarreal.

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Predicted Line-up:

Bernd Leno got a deserved rest last weekend with Mat Ryan starting between the sticks. He is expected to return in goal tonight.

The defence may see a couple of changes. Calum Chambers and Pablo Mari could replace Hector Bellerin and Gabriel respectively.

In midfield, Thomas Partey is likely to return to the starting mix after a cameo against Fulham. He looks set to replace Mohamed Elneny.

Further forward, there may be a solitary change with Alexandre Lacazette ruled out with a hamstring injury.

Gabriel Martinelli is likely to lead the line which could pave the way for Nicolas Pepe to feature on the left wing.

Predicted Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1): Leno; Chambers, Holding, Mari, Xhaka; Partey, Ceballos; Saka, Smith Rowe, Pepe; Martinelli.
