Arsenal will entertain Everton at the Emirates Stadium this Saturday as they look to secure all three points at home in the Premier League. The Gunners managed to earn a hard-fought 2-2 draw away at Bayern Munich recently, which should keep them in good spirits going into this game.
Mikel Arteta will set his men up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and is expected to make a few changes to his first team for this clash. Ben White, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Eberechi Eze could all play from the start of this game.
4-2-3-1 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Everton
Defence
David Raya will operate in goal for the North London club after conceding two goals in his last appearance. Gabriel will continue to play alongside Ezri Konsa at the centre of the Arsenal defence as they look to keep a good shape when defending inside their half.
Ben White will try to impress as the right-back, while Riccardo Calafiori gets another chance to shine as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to go forward and express themselves inside the opponent’s half.
Jurrien Timber and Cristhian Mosquera will provide cover for the defensive positions on the bench.

Midfield
Myles Lewis-Skelly will anchor the midfield with Declan Rice as they look to establish their dominance over the opposition in the middle of the park and engineer some decent chances in the final third.
The talented trio of Eberechi Eze, Martin Odegaard and Noni Madueke will play just ahead of them as part of Arteta’s frontline. All three of them need to be at their best if the Gunners are to secure a win at Villa Park this Saturday.
Bruno Guimaraes and Mikel Merino will be named on the bench as they wait for their chance to shine in the second 45 minutes if required.
Attack
Kai Havertz will lead the line for the Gunners once again up top. He failed to score against Bayern and will be desperate to impress by putting in a productive display this weekend.
Viktor Gyokeres will have to be content with a place on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the latter stages if Arsenal are in need of a goal.
