Headache continues for Marco Silva as Everton are down with injury crisis but that won’t keep them from competing at the highest level against Unai Emery’s Arsenal.
First of all, it is good to hear that Seamus Coleman ‘s latest injury scare won’t keep him sidelined for a long time. He just got back from that double fracture and it looked like Everton has lost him for a considerable amount of time again, but injury was not as serious as it was anticipated.
Jonjoe Kenny is still coming up the ranks after enjoying a decent break through campaign last season. The young man is capable of filling in for Coleman and is expected do that again when Everton face Arsenal this Sunday.
Everton’s duo of Holgate and Kurt Zouma looked vulnerable against West Ham last weekend and if they replicate their defensive performance of West Ham against Arsenal, they will be hammered hard. Though, Yerry Mina is expected to make his Everton debut this weekend and I will introduce him for Holgate.

Kurt Zouma has a bright history against Arsenal. The Frenchman has troubled Arsenal on multiple occasions and will be hopeful of doing the same when he comes up against them this Sunday.
Lucas Digne has done enough to keep his place in the squad ahead of veteran Leighton Baines.
In the midfield, the duo of Morgan Schneiderlin and Idrissa Gueye not only provides physicality but also gives them intelligence shielding the defence. The 28-year-old Senegal midfielder suffered a knee injury in Everton’s 2-2 draw with Bournemouth in August but returned for The Toffees last weekend against West Ham.
With Sigurdsson back in form, he is the man that will keep Arsenal’s defensive midfielders on the front foot.
After impressing coming off the bench against West Ham United, I’d like to see Bernard given a chance to prove himself from the start. The Brazilian joined Everton on the Deadline day and it’s just time before he seduce the Premier League with his skills and effectiveness.
But, not soo soon Bernard – Everton have Richarlison available after serving suspension and is up and running to face Arsenal this Sunday.
Marco Silva will certainly bring his best man in for the big match against the mighty Arsenal and Bernard will probably have another chance from the bench.
Arsenal should be really worried about controlling Theo Walcott, the beast they produced. Walcott has started season on a high with 2 goals and 1 assist in five league appearances, the England international will be looking to prove himself when he returns home this Sunday.
Misfiring striker Cenk Tosun is expected to continue leading the line for Everton ahead of in-from Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
