Arsenal XI vs Everton as Mikel Arteta makes surprise change and Martinelli starts

Bukayo Saka will miss Arsenal’s final Premier League game of the season against Everton due to a muscular injury.

The England international failed a late fitness test which means he is replaced by Gabriel Martinelli in attack.

Mikel Arteta’s side can win their first league title in almost two decades if they beat Everton and Manchester City fail to win against West Ham at the Etihad today.

Arteta has opted to hand Takehiro Tomiyasu a start at left-back, while Leandro Trossard continues alongside Kai Havertz in attack.

Gabriel Jesus, Jorginho and long-term absentee Jurrien Timber are among those Arteta has to choose from on the substitutes bench,

Arsenal XI vs Everton: Raya, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu, Odegaard, Partey, Rice, Martinelli, Trossard, Havertz.

Subs: Ramsdale, Timber, Zinchenko, Kiwior, Jorginho, Vieira, Smith Rowe, Jesus, Nketiah.
