There were no shocks in the Toffees’ original line-up as Marco Silva unsurprisingly named the same starting XI that dominated in the 2-0 win over West Ham United last weekend.
However, Michael Keane took ill in the warm-up and has been replaced by Phil Jagielka at centre-half.
There are some noteworthy inclusions and omissions in Unai Emery’s team, however.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is named among the substitutes for the fourth time in Arsenal’s last six Premier League matches, as Alexandre Lacazette ploughs a lone furrow as the central striker in a 3-4-2-1.
Mesut Ozil starts his first away league game of 2019 and is joined by Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the attacking midfield positions, with the Armenia international taking the place of Alex Iwobi.
Aaron Ramsey has recovered from a minor groin injury but is only on the bench, so Mohamed Elneny gets a rare start in central midfield.
Granit Xhaka and Laurent Koscielny aren’t fit enough to feature, while Lucas Torreira serves the final match of a three-game ban.
Lacazette is among the form forwards in FPL, having delivered an attacking return in each of his last six appearances.
The French striker also scored – along with Aubameyang – in the reverse fixture back in September.
Arsenal haven’t recorded a clean sheet away from home all season, however.
Only Manchester City (eight) have kept more top-flight shut-outs than Everton (six) in 2019.
Four of the Toffees’ clean sheets have come in the last five Gameweeks.
No FPL player priced below £9.0m has scored more Premier League goals than Gylfi Sigurdsson or
