Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has named his starting line-up for the Premier League clash against Everton at the Emirates Stadium this afternoon.

The Gunners are on a two-match winning streak in the English top-flight and can go level on points with leaders Manchester City with another victory.

Ahead of the game, Arteta has made five changes to the starting XI.

David Raya continues in goal, but there are two changes in the backline.

Ben White and Myles Lewis-Skelly replace Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori in the right-back and left-back positions, respectively.

Ezri Konsa continues to partner Gabriel Magalhaes in central defence.

Declan Rice has a new central midfield partner in Mikel Merino. Bruno Guimaraes has been given a breather after the midweek Munich trip.

In the final third, Eberechi Eze features on the left wing, while Noni Madueke moves to the right wing with Bukayo Saka out injured.

Martin Odegaard continues as the number 10, while Viktor Gyokeres replaces Kai Havertz upfront for his first league start of the season.

The Swede delivered a fine assist in the 2-2 Champions League draw at Bayern in midweek, and has been rewarded with a starting role.

Confirmed Arsenal line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Everton: Raya; White, Konsa, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Rice, Merino; Madueke, Odegaard, Eze; Gyokeres.
