What They're Saying
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger (via Mirror): "I expect a strong response because it's a different competition. We have an opportunity to maintain our top-three position."
Everton manager Roberto Martinez (via Mirror): "He's [Romelu Lukaku] showing he is a natural goalscorer. Sometimes you need to remember the age he is, yet he is such a mature goalscorer. He has a knack not many people have at that age."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Lukaku's scoring record in Europa League, however, six goals in seven appearances, is greater than that in the Premier League. In 26 league appearances, the 21-year-old has just seven goals and three assists.
Arsenal's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Ospina; Monreal, Koscielny, Paulista; Bellerin; Cazorla, Coquelin; Sanchez, Ozil, Walcott; Welbeck
Everton's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Howard; Baines, Jagielka, Stones, Coleman; Besic, McCarthy; Mirallas, Naismith, Lennon; Lukaku
