Arsenal XI vs Everton: Predicted lineup and confirmed team news for Premier League match at Goodison Park

Freddie Ljungberg faces a selection dilemma at left-back for his final game in charge of Arsenal.

The interim head coach is without Sead Kolasinac - who has a ankle injury - and Kieran Tierney is also absent for the trip to Everton after dislocating his shoulder.

It means winger Bukayo Saka is likely to fill in at full-back, as he did against Manchester City, and it could make up a youthful defence that includes Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Calum Chambers.

Ahead of them Lucas Torreira and Granit Xhaka could be the midfield two, with the latter fit again after recovering from concussion.

Nicolas Pepe and Gabriel Martinelli - two of the rare bright sparks under Ljungberg - should start out wide again and Joe Willock could earn a recall as Mesut Ozil is a doubt due to a foot injury.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should lead the line and captain the side, with Alexandre Lacazette once again on the bench.

Predicted Arsenal lineup (4-2-3-1): Leno; Maitland-Niles, Chambers, Sokratis, Saka; Torreira, Xhaka; Pepe, Willock, Martinelli; Aubameyang.
