Arteta reveals Arsenal’s biggest problem ahead of match with Everton

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta will today have a hard time when choosing a striker as his options will definitely make him choose on two youngsters, Eddie Nketiah and Gabriel Martinelli.

The Premier League continues today and Arsenal will host Everton who are among the clubs that will stand in their way of getting into the European spots and so it’s going to be a very big game for Mikel Arteta’s men. Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta will understand how huge this game is and he has revealed their biggest problem ahead of their encounter with Everton.

Arsenal will come into the game against Everton after their recent Premier League game ended in a 1-1 draw with Fulham and the result wasn’t the only thing that the fans found disappointing as they not only dropped points against the relegation fighting side but also lost their only senior striker Alexandre Lacazette to an injury in the second half of the game.

Mikel Arteta’s injury room was already big but it will however not be joined by Alexandre Lacazette who was their only fit senior striker since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was diagnosed with malaria. Arsenal will be without five players ahead of their game against Everton and Mikel Arteta talked about how that is one of their biggest problems ahead of this match.

“Yes it is unfortunately the situation we have at the moment. They are all doing really well to be fair, they are a little bit ahead of schedule.” Mikel Arteta told Arsenal’s official website.

“We don’t expect them for Everton I think, we have a doubt with Martin a little bit, let’s see how he is today in training. The rest will be out and get them back in the team as quick as possible.”
