With the four-way battle for the final two Champions League berths hotting up, it is Arsenal who have moved into pole position with seven wins from their last nine.

A 2-0 win at West Ham last week gave them back-to-back victories for only the second time this season in the Premier League.

Everton XI: Pickford, Coleman, Keane, Zouma, Digne, Gomes, Gueye, Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Bernard, Calvert-Lewin.

Arsenal XI: Leno, Mustafi, Sokratis, Monreal, Maitland-Niles, Elneny, Guendouzi, Kolasinac, Ozil, Mkhitaryan, Lacazette.
