A Strong 11 for the Home Side Arsenal and a Second-String Team for the Visitors Everton?
Expecting the Gunners to throw everything at it, even try to call Dennis Bergkamp out of retirement if it were possible. However, I don’t think that they will go as far as recalling a legend of the game as the team has shown they are up to the challenge… on occasion.
The Toffees are only able to go up an extra spot; there is some extra money for them to garner if they finish higher than Southampton in 15th place. So they will play a full-strength starting 11 with one or two reserves coming in — either starting or coming on from the bench.
Here Are the Predicted Starting XIs for Arsenal and Everton:
Arsenal (4-3-3)
GK: Aaron Ramsdale;
Defenders: Cedric Soares, Gabriel, Ben White, Nuno Tavares;
Midfielders: Mohamed Elneny, Granit Xhaka, Martin Odegaard;
Forwards: Bukayo Saka, Eddie Nketiah, Gabriel Martinelli
Everton (3-4-3)
GK: Jordan Pickford
Defenders: Ben Godfrey, Michael Keane, Mason Holgate, Vitaliy Mykolenko;
Midfielders: Abdoulaye Doucoure, Alex Iwobi, Dele Alli, Demarai Gray;
Forwards: Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Richarlison
Arteta’s injury problems haven’t changed and because he is missing Partey, Trippier, and possibly Tomiyasu, this is his best side to face Everton on Sunday on the Premier League final day.
Alexandre Lacazette could be called into action or could even start, as this could be his final game as a Gunner; there is no doubt that he will feature at some point during the 90 minutes. The same goes for Elneny and Eddie Nketiah who are in the final months of their respective current deal with the Emirates club.
Venue: Emirates Stadium
