Toffees manager Ronaldo Koeman has started 20-year-old Jonjoe Kenny as right wing-back in their 3-5-2 formation but apart from the young Englishman’s inclusion, the hosts are trotting out in their routine starting XI.

Club record-signing Gylif Sigurdsson starts behind Wayne Rooney and Domin Calvert-Lewin while Nikola Vlasic and Idrissa Gueye anchor the midfield.

Jordan Pickford starts in goal and has a three-man defence of Ashley Williams, Phil Jagielka and Michael Keane in front of him while veteran Leighton Baines retains his place at left wing-back.

Arsenal have opted for their standard 3-4-3 formation, with Petr Cech starting between the sticks. Laurent Koscielny, Per Mertesacker and Nacho Montreal are the three central defenders while Hector Bellerin and Sead Kolasinac are the preferred wing-backs for the tie at Goodsion Park.

Aaron Ramsey returns to the lineup and is partnered by Granit Xhaka in central midfield while Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez both start behind Alexandre Lacazette in attack.

Everton, who are languishing in 16th place in the league table, are under severe pressure to clinch three points. Reports are coming in that despite the club publicly backing Ronald Koeman in recent weeks, they might fire the Dutch tactician should they fail to win.

Arsenal have made an indifferent start to their Premier League season and are in desperate need of three points as well. The Gunners already trail leaders Manchester City by an gargantuan 12 points and should they drop points at Goodison Park, their slim hopes of a first Premier League title in over a decade will be effectively over.

Everton: Pickford, Kenny, Baines, Williams, Jagielka (c), Keane, Gana, Vlasic, Sigurdsson, Rooney and Calvert-Lewin.

Arsenal: Cech, Koscielny, Mertesacker (c), Monreal, Bellerin, Ramsey, Xhaka, Kolasinac, Ozil, Alexis and Lacazette.

Match starts at 1330 GMT/1800 IST.
