Mikel Arteta has named an unchanged Arsenal lineup to face Everton at Goodison Park, with Thomas Partey fit to start. But Jorginho is on the bench and has to wait for his debut.
Mikel Arteta will be relieved to have Thomas Partey fit and ready to face Everton, as Arsenal take on the Merseysiders in a crucial clash. The Ghanaian midfielder was described as a doubt before the game but has seemingly proven his fitness to participate.
The Gunners have plenty of depth after a good transfer window and have Jorginho, Leandro Trossard, and Jakub Kiwior on the bench at Goodison Park. Overall, the team remains unchanged from the one that defeated Manchester United two weeks ago at the Emirates.

Aaron Ramsdale starts in goal and replaces Matt Turner. Arteta has his usual back four of Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Oleksandr Zinchenko all keeping their places.
Partey will be crucial in midfield and will have Granit Xhaka as his regular partner. Martin Odegaard will take the advanced role ahead of the duo as Arsenal’s main creative hub. Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka, and Eddie Nketiah complete the forward line for the Gunners.
