Fresh on the heels of defeat to the table toppers, Everton welcome second-place Arsenal FC to Goodison in Saturday’s early kick-off.
But with two games in quick succession, will Mr Moyes look to shuffle his pack or continue with a side that been mostly positive?
Who’s Out?
No major news coming into this one.
Jesper Lindstrøm missed the Anfield game with a suspected hernia injury and will miss out again here. If it is a hernia, he might have played his last game for the Blues.
In more positive news, Iliman Ndiaye made his return from the bench against the Reds and is in contention to start against Arsenal. Likewise, Dwight McNeil might be available for the squad after returning to training earlier this week.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Orel Mangala remain out.
EVERTON SQUAD AVAILABLE VS ARSENAL
Goalkeepers: Pickford, Virginia, Begovic

Midfielders: Doucoure, Gueye, Garner, Iroegbunam, Mangala (INJURED), Alcaraz

Attackers: Calvert-Lewin (INJURED), Beto, Chermiti, Broja
Tactics and Formation
I’d be very surprised to see significant changes for this one.
The defence will surely stay the same and I’d imagine Garner and Gueye will continue in the double pivot.
Every Blue will be happy to see Ndiaye return to the side and I expect that to happen. That should mean Doucoure drops to the bench leaving Alcaraz through the middle, but that’s far from a certainty. Probably Harrison on the right due to a lack of other options despite his poor showing midweek.
Despite not getting a goal, Beto looked dangerous in the first half against Liverpool and will probably continue to start here – unless Moyes thinks there’s any chance that he wants to give Armando Broja a late chance to make a case for a summer move.
