Arsenal travel to Goodison Park this weekend looking to continue their winning run, but will find Everton a tougher proposition under new manager Sean Dyche.
The Gunners currently sit five points clear at the top of the Premier League, and have only tasted defeat once this season, against Manchester United in September. On course for 100 points, a solid January transfer window has left them well prepared to sustain a title challenge and win their first Premier League since 2004 in the process.
Here’s how we expect them to line up on Saturday, and the latest team news from the Arsenal camp, including updates on Gabriel Jesus, Leandro Trossard and Emile Smith Rowe.

Mikel Arteta is unlikely to change a winning formula, but has seen his options boosted by the January transfer window. Leandro Trossard impressed against Manchester City in the FA Cup and could be handed a start again at Goodison Park, while deadline day addition Jorginho could also make his Arsenal debut, though he is almost certain to start on the substitutes bench.
Unfortunately, midfielder Mohamed Elneny has been ruled out for the season with a knee injury, but there could be a return to the bench for Emile Smith Rowe, who missed the FA Cup defeat to Manchester City with a slight thigh injury and was left out as a precaution.
And, in more good news for the Gunners, Gabriel Jesus has stepped up his recovery from injury and has been pictured back in individual training on the grass after suffering a knee injury of his own at the World Cup with Brazil.
