How Arsenal could line up against Southampton He has not scored for six league games, and will be keen to redeem himself. The club captain squandered a clear-cut scoring chance right at the end on Monday. It won’t be a surprise if Arteta recalls Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. He will be hoping to add to his recent tally against the Saints on a winning cause.Īlexandre Lacazette barely made an impact against the Toffees. The latter has hit form with goals in back-to-back games where the club have lost. The £25.2m-rated star could start ahead of Martinelli on the left wing.īukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard appear definite starters in the right-wing and number 10 positions. Meanwhile, Emile Smith Rowe is still being assessed after a minor muscle issue, but he may get the nod if he passes the late fitness test. Gabriel Martinelli suffered a hamstring injury scare on Monday, but he has been deemed fit. The duo appear in line to continue in midfield. On his injury comeback on Monday, Granit Xhaka played through the full 90 minutes.

Mikel Arteta could still back him in the centre of the park. Thomas Partey has been poor by his high standards, and he has personally admitted the same. The Scot should reclaim his spot at left-back. Tierney was probably substituted for fatigue, having not played a competitive game for a few weeks. Nuno Tavares, who replaced him, contributed towards the Toffees’ equaliser after handing possession from a throw-in. Kieran Tierney’s substitution came as a surprise on Monday, having delivered a superb assist for Martin Odegaard’s goal before the interval. White should continue to partner Gabriel Magalhaes in central defence for the 13th straight league game. Ben White was initially caught out of possession for the Toffees’ winner, but he can’t be blamed for Demarai Gray’s stunning strike from outside the box. Takehiro Tomiyasu produced another solid display from right-back. In defence, no changes are likely from the Merseyside trip. He will be eyeing his seventh clean sheet of the league campaign tomorrow. The England international has produced several stand-out displays, but he could not have done anything to stop Everton from scoring. Aaron Ramsdale was recently voted as the club’s Player of the Month for November.
