Dugout Discussion – Everton vs Arsenal

Saturday’s schedule concludes with the headline act. Arsenal make the trip to Goodison Park looking to build on the stuttering 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on the opening day. The Toffees meanwhile, will also be looking to improve on their first showing, having been pegged back to 2-2 by newly promoted Leicester a week ago.

Arsene Wenger rings the changes with a few surprises. He welcomes back two of his German contingent as Mesut Ozil and Per Mertesacker return to the starting lineup. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain also starts, while Nacho Monreal comes in for Kieran Gibbs at the back. Santi Cazorla and Laurent Koscielney drop to the bench, with Calum Chambers retaining his start at the back. Olivier Giroud again starts from the bench with Alexis Sanchez set to be fielded in a central attacking role.

Roberto Martinez also tweaks his lineup with Seamus Coleman and Kevin Mirallas drafted in – John Stones and Aiden McGeady make way.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Worked out my transfers for this and next week. May not be pretty but sorts out my team well

    This week- 4 point hit

    F.luis-> 5.5
    Young->king

    Next week

    Adrian -> courtois

    Which 5.5 defender should I get?? Leaning towards debuchy but this isn't convincing me very much at all really??

      I guess. If nothing else pressing. Could do better with de Jong back in, but he's hopeless up there in isolation if Pardew is going to continue to keep this formation I can't see him being a good pick. Needs another forward up top with him.

        Yeah, I saw some of the game today. Had that one chance but otherwise anonymous and didn't seem to hold the ball up that well.

        Might just save transfer and hope that they get their act together for this winnable fixture. Cheers.
