Arsenal host Everton in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon at the Emirates Stadium, with the Gunners aiming for a third consecutive league victory. The match, which kicks off at 3pm BST, is the third game in six days for Mikel Arteta's side.
Arsenal enter the fixture on a four-game unbeaten run, having responded to a defeat at Brighton before the international break. Their most recent outing was a 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich in the Champions League at the Allianz Arena.
Team News and Injury Blow
Arsenal have been dealt a significant setback with Bukayo Saka sustaining a quad injury inside 10 minutes at the Allianz Arena. The winger will be sidelined indefinitely and joins Christos Tzolis and William Saliba on the sidelines. However, Piero Hincapie has recovered swiftly from an ankle issue and could return to the matchday squad.
Everton's Challenge
Everton saw their unbeaten start to the season end against Chelsea last weekend. The visitors have former Arsenal players Christian Norgaard and Ainsley Maitland-Niles in their squad as they look for a rare away win in this fixture.
Arsenal are favourites to secure all three points and maintain pressure on Manchester City at the top of the table, despite being short of attacking options without Saka.
