Gunners confirmed the lineup when they made a massive decision
Arsenal is trying to keep pressure on Liverpool in the Reds’ pursuit when they face Everton at Goodison Park in the Premier League title race.
Liverpool’s 1-0 victory in the Merseyside Derby brought the advantage back to 12 points over Arsenal.
The gunners can break the same opposition and return to the nine, but realistically, the game may be about building Arsenal momentum ahead of the Champions League bond with Real Madrid rather than fading domestic ambitions.
