OPINION

Everton travel to north London to face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday in the Premier League, and Marco Silva must make three changes to his starting XI.

The Toffees suffered a major setback last weekend when they were rolled over by a rampant West Ham at Goodison Park, and they will be looking to get back to winning ways this weekend.

However, they will be up against a Gunners side full of confidence after four wins on the trot in all competitions, and Silva will have to get his team selection spot on for this one.

In goal, Jordan Pickford must start as normal.

In defence, Jonjoe Kenny must retain his spot at right-back, with Kurt Zouma partnering Yerry Mina in the centre, meaning Mason Holgate is axed, while Lucas Digne remains at left-back after his impressive start to life in England.

In midfield, a holding duo of Idrissa Gueye and Morgan Schneiderlin must retain their places.

Two changes must come in attack, with Bernard and the back-from-suspension Richarlison coming in for Dominic Calvert-Lewin and the misfiring Cenk Tosun, with Theo Walcott and Gylfi Sigurdsson remaining in the side.

Playing without a recognised striker may be a risk, but £67,000-a-week ace Tosun has shown little evidence that he can hold up play well enough in a game like this where Arsenal will be on the front foot, and Silva must wield the axe.
