Arsenal vs Everton LIVE: Gabriel starts with Lewis-Skelly, Partey benched as Martinelli remains Live coverage of all the action from the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal take on Everton in the Premier League

Arsenal take on Everton at the Emirates Stadium looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League following the disappointing draw at Fulham last weekend. The Gunners’ title rivals Liverpool and Chelsea are also at home and so the pressure is even more expectant of a victory.

Mikel Arteta was emboldened by his side’s 3-0 win over Monaco in midweek. Myles Lewis-Skelly had a particularly strong performance leading for calls for the youngster to reprise his left-back role this weekend.

Meanwhile, Gabriel Magalhaes is hoping to return to the fold this weekend following a period off with an injury. The Gunners remain without Riccardo Calafiori, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White.

 

Everton could see Michael Keane return while a host of other injured players were involved in the Toffees’ youth team match this week. Sean Dyche has enjoyed more than a week to prepare for the game after the Merseyside derby was postponed which the Gunners have had three matches in that time since Everton last played.

You can follow all the action from the Emirates Stadium where there will be a celebration in memory of former player of both clubs Kevin Campbell with football.london ‘s Arsenal correspondents Tom Canton and Kaya Kaynak in our live blog below. Updates to follow…

Remembering Super Kevin Campbell

It has been several months since we lost one of the most kind and humble people I have ever known. I was in Italy earlier this year, travelling on a tram in Florence toward the airport to return home from a holiday when a close friend let me know the news that Kevin had sadly passed away.

Being in the Arsenal online video and media space, I had come to know Kevin initially through YouTube. He came on The Gooner Talk as a guest and through our mutual friend and host of the Highbury Squad Sophie Nicolau; we also had the pleasure of doing a live podcast on the rooftop of the Hippodrome in London. Every time I met up with Kevin he brought such joy to any space he was in.

The first time was at the Twelve Pins after Arsenal’s win over Watford in which Petr Cech had finally saved a penalty for Arsenal, against Troy Deeney, the pantomime villain, of all people. Naturally, we had a good laugh about that in the short breaks he got from being asked for selfies with fans inside the pub which he never shied away from putting a smile on supporters’ faces.

Is it the end for Tierney after latest snub?

Arsenal were forced into some interesting changes as they took on Monaco in the UEFA Champions League. A three-goal win and many missed chances perhaps flattered to deceive when it came to the overall performance but it got the job done.

There had been a lot of focus before the match on who might start in the back line. With Jurrien Timber, Thomas Partey and Myles Lewis-Skelly suffering fitness concerns in the week with the former pair missing the open training session they added to the growing list of absentees.

Gabriel Magalhaes, Riccardo Calafiori, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu are all out of action at the moment. One player though whose name has become far more in focus is Kieran Tierney
