da bet vitoria： So after weeks of deliberating and interviewing, Arsenal have finally settled on Mikel Arteta as the man to lead them through into this new era. The Spaniard was confirmed as the permanent successor to Unai Emery on Friday afternoon, and it brings to an end intense speculation regarding the former Manchester City assistant’s future.
da blaze casino： But whilst Arteta will no doubt be keen to stuck in, it was revealed he will be officially starting his duties on Sunday, meaning Freddie Ljungberg will have one last chance to lead the side from the touch-line. And with the players well aware of who their new manager is, there will no doubt be a sense of expectation and pressure on their shoulders in wanting to impress the new man.
And with that in mind, below is a look at how Arsenal might line up against Everton.
Amidst a season of struggles for the Gunners, Bernd Leno has been one of the rare players in the squad who comes out of it with a sense of credit. The Germany international has produced heroics countless times for the north Londoners, making finger tips saves and reflex stops virtually every game – it’s therefore little surprise to see that he has made the most amount of saves of any goalkeeper in the Premier League this campaign with 73.

Whilst Chambers was slammed by Arsenal fans for his performance against Manchester City last time out, he has been one of the Gunners’ more reliable and more consistent players this season overall. If he continues at centre-back – potentially alongside David Luiz this time around – the Gunners could be looking at some really tough decisions in the full-back areas.
The likes of Hector Bellerin, Kieran Tierney and Sead Kolasinac have all been ruled out through injury, so that should mean Ainsley Maitland-Niles continues at right-back. On the opposite flank however, Bukayo Saka could come in – a position he has played before in his time with the academy.

In midfield, the Gunners could turn back to Granit Xhaka after he was ruled out of the City clash thanks to a concussion he picked up in the victory against West Ham. Alongside him, Lucas Torreira showed his fighting spirit and battling qualities with a tigerish display against the Premier League champions, and Arsenal will be keen to have those two midfielders re-forming their partnership.
And in attack, the north London side may well choose to ring the changes. Away at Goodison Park – particularly with Duncan Ferguson’s time as interim manager seeing a win and draw against Chelsea and Manchester United respectively – it is likely to be a very tricky contest. The Gunners will have to match the home side physically, and that could see Mesut Ozil dropped to the bench.

If that is the case, the Gunners could bring in Emile Smith Rowe after his impressive cameo in that advanced role against Manchester City, where he helped with his work off-the-ball too. Around the academy product, the trio of Nicolas Pepe, Gabriel Martinelli and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be tasked with firing in the goals.
Meanwhile, Arsenal fans have lauded this starlet after his goal-scoring display for the U23s.
