Bellerin And Xhaka To Start, Kolasinac And Guendouzi Out: Arsenal’s Predicted Line Up To Face Everton

With Freddie Ljungberg set to have one final game in charge before Mikel Arteta takes the reins, he is unlikely to make any radical changes to the starting line up against Everton tomorrow.

The outgoing interim head coach has problems with injuries at the back, with both Kieran Tierney and Sead Kolasinac out for a while. It will lead to a reshuffle in the backline with Ainsley Maitland-Niles probably shifting to left-back with perhaps Hector Bellerin coming back in at right-back if he manages to recover from a hamstring problem.


After conceding three against Manchester City, Ljungberg may also opt to recall David Luiz ahead of Calum Chambers. Sokratis could also easily be the one to make way with both centre-backs poor last time out.

In midfield, Granit Xhaka is expected to come back into the side after recovering from a concussion. He will likely replace Matteo Guendouzi who was also poor against City.

Arsenal’s front four could remain unchanged, with Pierre-Emerick Aubamaeyang upfront, Mesut Ozil in the number 10 role with Nicolas Pepe and Gabriel Martinelli playing on the flanks.

Arsenal’s Predicted XI To Face Everton:

Leno, Bellerin, Sokratis, Luiz, Maitland-Niles, Torreira, Ozil, Xhaka, Pepe, Aubameyang, Martinelli
