Mikel Arteta has made three changes to his side for tonight’s Premier League trip to Everton, with Martin Odegaard returning to captain us at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The boss has shuffled his pack after the 2-1 win against Wolves last Saturday, with Odegaard replacing Ebere Eze, while Riccardo Calafiori comes back into the side after missing last weekend’s game through suspension.
He replaces Ben White who suffered an injury early in the win against Wolves, with Jurrien Timber likely to revert to right-back and Piero Hincapie to move into centre-back.
The other switch sees Leandro Trossard return to the XI, with Gabriel Martinelli taking a spot on the bench alongside Eze.
