Sean Dyche previews the game

Mikel Arteta explains his selection calls

Arsenal's goalkeeper situation

One wonders what this could mean for Arsenal’s goalkeeping situation going forward.

Raya in the league and Ramsdale in the Champions League? A bit of rotation?

Either way it’s a big call from Ramsdale. The benefits of having two number ones, I guess.

More on that and Havertz being dropped below.

Everton still struggling

It’s been more of the same for Everton this season, who have just one point from their opening four games of the season so far.

They picked up a point at Sheffield United last game and were perhaps lucky to do so, but Sean Dyche hasn’t been able to help the side’s fortunes after a disappointing campaign last year.

A takeover should help, but it looks like it’s going to be another year of struggle for the Toffees.

Ramsdale and Havertz dropped

Some big calls made by Mikel Arteta today, with David Raya replacing Aaron Ramsdale in goal and Kai Havertz also dropping out. Fabio Vieira replaces him.

They’re the only two changes for Arsenal from their 3-1 win over Manchester United a fortnight ago.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin returns

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is back involved for Everton today for the first time since picking up a facial injury in the Toffees’ 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa.

He’s on the bench, with Mykolenko replacing Patterson and Dwight McNeil coming in for Garner.
