Midfield
The combination of Granit Xhaka and Francis Coquelin has worked well for Wenger in the last few games and the Frenchman is likely to keep it unperturbed.
Although Xhaka’s dangerous elbow on Joe Allen’s face just might make Wenger cautious about his inclusion in the team, we are sticking with the Swiss as of now. His invisible defensive role was tremendously impactful against Potters and it should be that way against the Toffees.
The best thing about Coquelin is he understands his role quite well. His discipline in being a defensive midfielder is exemplary and is perhaps the most vital player in the squad, who remains unnoticeable most times.
Mesut Ozil’s shooting boots are doing the talking this season. Although he assists when he gets bored of scoring, but why do that when he can score some sublime as well as stunners at will?
His perfectly calculated headed goal was quite unexpected.
Attack
Theo Walcott bagged his tenth goal of the season against Stoke and will probably watch that highlight sipping coffee from the new café machine his wife promised. The English winger’s rise this season might have been overshadowed by Alexis Sanchez’s artistry, but he has netted some crucial goals for the team now.
Oxlade-Chamberlain is finally getting the time he deserves and is showing what he is capable of. His lofted assist to Ozil was impeccable. They both start on the flanks.
Sanchez starts as the striker and he chooses himself now. It was sad to see him not getting a goal against Stoke and he will so badly want that against Everton.
The Chilean has been unstoppable this season and has started drawing comparison with Henry already.
