Arsenal's 18-year-old prodigy, Myles Lewis-Skelly, has been named in the starting lineup for today's Premier League fixture against Everton at the Emirates Stadium.
This marks his first Premier League start, following an impressive full debut in the UEFA Champions League midweek.
In the Champions League match against AS Monaco, Lewis-Skelly showcased exceptional skill and composure, contributing significantly to Arsenal's 3-0 victory. His performance earned high praise from manager Mikel Arteta, who remarked, "What I like about him is his courage, the position he takes, how he penetrates with the ball."
Today's match against Everton is crucial for Arsenal as they aim to maintain momentum in the Premier League title race. The Gunners are renowned for their proficiency in set-pieces, having scored from corners in their last three league matches. Achieving a fourth consecutive set-piece goal would set a new club record.
The confirmed Arsenal starting XI is as follows:
Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Rice, Merino, Ødegaard; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli. Notably, defender Gabriel Magalhães returns to the lineup after recovering from a thigh injury sustained in November.
Everton's lineup includes: Pickford; Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Gueye, Mangala, Doucouré; Harrison, Ndiaye; Calvert-Lewin.
The match is set to kick off at 4pm GMT
