Fixture: Arsenal vs Everton
Competition: Premier League
Kick-off: 16:00 (UK time)

Arsenal have announced their starting eleven and substitutes to play host to Marco Silva's Everton side at the Emirates Stadium in a Premier League game this afternoon.

The Gunners have taken nine points from their opening five games and victory would see them move above Manchester United and into sixth place in the league standings.




Arsenal boss Unai Emery continues to trust in Petr Cech in goal, while at the back he selects Sokratis and Shkodran Mustafi as the central pairing.  Lucas Torreira starts, as does Granit Xhaka. Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil will look to support Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubamayeng.

Emery has a bench packed full of options if he needs to make changes during the course of the game, with Danny Welbeck and Mohamed Elneny two of those available.

Arsenal have not lost at home against Everton in the last 24 meetings between the two teams, with the last time the Toffees beat the Gunners in an away fixture being in 1996.
