Loss Premier League: Everton 1 - 0 Arsenal | Saturday 4th, February | KO: 12:30 GMT| BT Sport

This should be relatively straightforward, the new manager bounce not withstanding.

The starting xi picks itself, unless Partey is not fit enough to start and Lokonga takes his place.

No Jorginho and ESR too.

No Partey in training pics..

Not worried, a lot of players missing. They've done this before so I would be relaxed and drink a cup of tea.

Who's that in the background?

 

[DUFFMAN]

Surely the club aren’t thick enough to leave us with one fit midfielder for the first match back after the window closed????

Don't worry.

Our team is almost at full strength going into the second half of the season.

Time to stay fit boys, and push for some silverware.

Don't jinx it please.

Dyche is a prick, Only threat is Calvert Lewin and they will defend like fvck. Id play Trossard tbh.

 

[Gunner D]

Don't worry.

Duffmans always worrying about injuries.

I carry the scars.

I carry the scars.

Understandable mate.

 

[TheGreatWright8]

I carry the scars.

It ain't easy

 

[NieThePiet]

Is the Smith back?

 

[serenitynow]

New manager or not, anything less than a win here is unacceptable. They're absolutely dire, only 2 points from their last 8 games ffs

Get an early goal and pin them in their own half, they'll be chasing shadows for most of the game.

ESR out from everton game mikel confirmed

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Arteta say Partey is doubt but he should be fine his injury is minor one

 

[freeglennhelder2]

Hmm. Its basically waffle.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We can afford leave partey on bench if we don't want to risk we got Jorginho guy is ready but Partey should be fine he training yesterday even tho look away from group.

Hopfully nothing serious, it's not that uncommon to get minor muscle injuries after several months out. Same thing probably going to happen to Gabriel Jesus when he returns.
