Arsenal will have taken plenty of confidence from their dramatic 3-1 win over Manchester United before the international break, which is just as well given they have an awful record at Everton.
On their past five visits to Goodison Park, the Gunners have failed to claim a win and lost four of those games, including a 1-0 reverse last season that upset their momentum in the Premier League title race with champions Manchester City.
That was in the early days of Sean Dyche’s tenure on Merseyside, however, and any enthusiasm over Everton’s final-day escape from relegation has evaporated amid a return of one point from their opening four Premier League games.
A change in ownership does not feel ideally timed for a club that has lurched from one crisis to another over recent years, meaning a fixture against Mikel Arteta’s high-fliers looks like a tall order for the Toffees even if history is on their side.
The Sporting News will follow the Everton vs. Arsenal match live, providing score updates, commentary, and highlights as they happen.

1 hour to kickoff: The teams are in and Arteta has made a big call, selecting David Raya in goal and dropping Aaron Ramsdale to the bench. Fabio Vieira gets his first start of the season in midfield, meaning Kai Havertz has to be content with a place among the substitutes. Gabriel Jesus is also on the bench after his goalscoring cameo against Manchester United, with Eddie Nketiah leading the line once more.

1 hr 20 mins prior to kickoff: Team news will be with us shortly. After early season experimentation yielded mixed results, Mikel Arteta went back to the formula that underpinned Arsenal’s success last season for the 3-1 win over Manchester United. Ben White, Gabriel, William Saliba and Oleksandr Zinchenko in the defence, a single holder behind two central midfielders and Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli either side of the central striker. If Arteta opts for more of the same at Goodison, it would certainly go down well with the travelling support.

1 hr 40 mins prior to kickoff: Given this is only the fifth game of the season for both sides, the distance between top and bottom in the Premier League is pretty vast. Arsenal need a win to draw level on 13 points with Liverpool and Tottenham, who are two points behind Manchester City. The defending champions have the only remaining 100% record. Well, if we’re talking about wins. Burnley and Luton are pointless in three and four games respectively, with Everton and Sheffield United on one apiece on account of the 2-2 draw the shared at Bramall Lane before the international break.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin is available again after recovering from a facial injury to hand Dyche a huge boost in attack, although recent arrival Beto will lead the line from kickoff. Jack Harrison (groin) remains out but Dwight McNeil is in for his first Premier League start of the season at the expense of James Garner.
Vitaliy Mykolenko replaces James Patterson, meaning Ashley Young will switch to right-back.

Arteta has pulled the trigger on a decision that has been looming since David Raya joined from Brentford last month, with England international Aaron Ramsdale dropped to the bench alongside Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus as Fabio Vieira and Eddie Nketiah start.
Thomas Partey (groin) remains on the sidelines for Arsenal, along with long-term absentee Jurrien Timber (ACL). Arteta was buoyed by the 16 players who departed on international duty all returning unscathed.
