Because he knows he signed a contract that has ruled him out of a move to the club he supported as a boy (Arsenal) or another club that isn't Everton.

Well with Gabi’s knock or injury it is unlikely he will be available, although I rather like him breaking up Auba and Laca starting together. Only other question is Mari v. Gabriel, in most cases you don’t drop the player who comes in and does well.

Assuming Martinelli not available he should more or less stick with the XI than won three on the trot. If Partey is fit he should replace Elneny, if he isn't might give Ceballos a start.
Have to take a view on whether Gabriel and fit and well in which case he probably comes in for Mari, who has been quite good to be fair. Be interesting to see them both with Mari in a back three at some point.
Smith Rowe, Laca, Saka and Auba should all start if possible. We need to start making statements againsgt this type of team, we're a big team and they're not. They've had some good results against us in recent years but they shipped seven recently and if we are aggressive and get a couple of goals it should be game over.

Drop Holding, play both of them?
Agree. Not really sure why it’s between Gabrielle and Mari.
If we’re honest the recent turn around of form has little to do with the holding / Mari partnership (who have made mistakes in each game that we’ve been lucky haven’t resulted in goals). Gabrielle when fit is the only certain starter.
As far as I am concerned, Holding, Mari and Luis can fight out the other spot.
Each have their merits depending on the opposition.

You can’t have two left footed centrebacks as your centreback pairing.

Yes. Not the same for left footers. Read all about it on google or something.

Remember this game from Arsène's last season where we totally annihilated them in the first half
I believe you're treading into @Riou's territory mate, be careful.

Bellerin and AMN as wing backs, and only three attackers feels like we could be a bit toothless to me. I'd be a bit surprised if we went back to 3 centre halves given we've been much better with 2.

Are people seriously saying put in Mari and Gabriel 
we stick with the system that's been giving us wins, we stick with Mari and Holding. Gabriel can come in against Newcastle on Monday.
Playing Mari and Gabriel defeats what Arteta wants to do.

Also just be glad that we have decent rotation for at least one position in our team. (Auba/Martinelli on left wing might be close, if Auba wasn't out of form).
Otherwise I fear injuries and red cards.
