James Tarkowski injury latest after missing Arsenal vs Everton

Everton’s James Tarkowski will miss the Premier League encounter against Arsenal due to an injury. This marks his first absence from a match this term, as Jarrad Branthwaite also faces the sidelines with a separate injury. Manager David Moyes has opted for Jake O’Brien and Michael Keane as his central defensive pair for the fixture.

Team lineups

Arsenal: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Zubimendi, Rice, Eze; Saka, Havertz, Madueke Subs: Kepa, Mosquera, White, Hincapie, Lewis-Skelly, Dowman, Martinelli, Jesus, Gyokeres

Everton: Pickford; Garner, O’Brien, Keane, Mykolenko; Iroegbunam, Gueye, Dewsbury-Hall; McNeil, Neto, Ndiaye

When asked about Tarkowski’s injury before kick-off, Moyes said: ‘I’m not sharing anything with you. You can see it, we’re missing two centre-halves today, but we’ve also got two who have one really well for us. We’re prepared, we prepared during the week, we’ve had time to do so, so it shouldn’t make too much difference hopefully.’

League implications

A victory for Everton at the Emirates Stadium could propel them past Brentford into the sixth spot in the league table. Meanwhile, Arsenal has an opportunity to extend their lead at the top by 10 points before Manchester City’s away match against West Ham on Saturday night.
