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.

    Got 2 FTs. Thinking of Caulker -> Clyne. Sound like a good idea?

      No. Not yet. Caulker played well last week - goal threat. Clyne's points inflate his performance.

    Chelsea annoy me this year. Too many good attackers now. Last year all I needed was Hazard and I felt safe going into the gameweek. With Costa, Fabregas and Hazard it's too much...

    Terry to Clyne? Then I will have the time to decide after the Everton game which third Che player to have Hazard or Ivanovic. Or maybe Costa out? If other striker comes up than

    Fabregas Ivanovic and Hazard is the answer
