Everton Line-Ups for Arsenal as Tyler Dibling and Carlos Alcaraz Decisions Made

Arsenal face selection challenges from injuries and suspensions as they aim to secure Christmas top spot, with Manchester City narrowing the gap to just two points, sources said.

  • On Saturday, Mikel Arteta faces a major selection decision as Arsenal travel to Everton with Manchester City possibly topping the Premier League before the 8pm kickoff.
  • Arsenal are managing injuries and a suspension that affect their backline, with Gabriel Magalhaes and Cristhian Mosquera sidelined, William Saliba returned, and Riccardo Calafiori available after suspension.
  • Tactical tweaks include Martin Ødegaard coming in for Eberechi Eze to alter midfield balance, while Mikel Merino may lead the line after scoring twice and assisting three times in five matches.
  • With key attackers unavailable, Everton's creativity is diminished as Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gueye join AFCON and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is injured, worsening their joint-third lowest scoring record.
  • With the title race tight, this fixture is a significant exam for Arsenal as their lead has been cut to two points, and they face Everton at the new Hill Dickinson Stadium.
