Match at Emirates Stadium, London, on 14 March 2026 (Premier League, Regular Season - 30). Arsenal come in as league leaders (1st, 67 points), while Everton sit 8th on 43 points.
Arsenal Availability
Arsenal are hit in midfield with Mikel Merino and Martin Ødegaard both ruled out. Merino misses out with a leg injury, while Ødegaard is sidelined by a knee problem, taking away his 1 goal and 5 assists in the league. In attack, however, key threats remain available: Viktor Gyökeres is fit with 10 goals from open play, and creative outlets Leandro Trossard (5 goals, 5 assists) and Declan Rice (4 goals, 5 assists) are also ready to feature, maintaining strong attacking depth from midfield and wide areas.
Everton Availability
Everton have three confirmed absentees. Midfielder Carlos Alcaraz is out, as is veteran defender Seamus Coleman. The biggest blow is Jack Grealish, ruled out with a foot injury, removing his 2 goals and team‑high 6 assists from Sean Dyche’s options. Playmaker James Garner (2 goals, 5 assists) remains available to shoulder more creative responsibility.
Impact Summary
Arsenal lose Ødegaard’s 6 direct goal contributions but retain the bulk of their attacking output through Gyökeres, Trossard and Rice. Everton’s loss of Grealish strips them of their primary creator, leaving Garner as the main supply line and potentially tilting the creative balance in Arsenal’s favour.
