Gabriel Jesus, Thomas Partey, Smith Rowe: Arsenal injury news and return dates ahead of Everton

Arsenal injury news: Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has a number of selection dilemmas ahead of tonight’s Premier League clash against Everton at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal are looking to get revenge over Everton after their loss at Goodison Park just under one month ago. The 1-0 defeat was just the second time Mikel Arteta’s side had lost up until that point and set them on a three match run without victory but that has since ended.

Back-to-back wins against Aston Villa and Leicester, plus Manchester City dropping points away to Nottingham Forest last weekend, have seen the Gunners move back to being two points clear at the top of the table. This match against the Toffees is their game in hand though and could see that stretch to five points.

As the title race turns its final corner and enters the last stretch with both Manchester clubs promising to turn it into a thrilling finale this is a huge game for Arteta and his men. Their home record against Everton is imperious but Sean Dyche’s men have survival on their minds with plenty to play for.

There are also concerns for Arteta to ponder with two of his stars guaranteed to miss the game at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night whilst there are continued concerns over other members of his squad.

Emile Smith Rowe provided a boost for fans as he turned out for the Under-21 side on Monday night in their 1-0 loss to Chelsea at Kingsmeadow, playing 45 minutes. January signing Jakub Kiwior was also part of the squad that night and played one half himself in an attempt to build-up match fitness.
