James Tarkowski injury latest after missing Arsenal vs Everton
Everton’s James Tarkowski Out for Match Against Arsenal
Everton’s star defender James Tarkowski has been sidelined for the Premier League encounter against Arsenal due to injury. This marks his inaugural absence from the competition this term, joining Jarrad Branthwaite on the injury list.
David Moyes’ Strategic Adjustments
The manager has opted for Jake O’Brien and Michael Keane as his central defensive pair for the game. While Moyes remained cautious about the severity of Tarkowski’s condition, he highlighted the squad’s preparedness without the 33-year-old.
‘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 are in excellent form 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.’
Lineups for the Premier League Clash
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
Game Implications
A victory for Everton at the Emirates Stadium would see them rise above Brentford into sixth place. Meanwhile, Arsenal have the opportunity to extend their lead at the top of the table by ten points ahead of Manchester City’s trip to West Ham on Saturday.
