Mikel Arteta has decided to make three changes to his team for this evening\u2019s Premier League game against Everton, with midweek goalscorer Kai Havertz handed a start.<\/p>\n

Havertz netted from the penalty spot against his former club Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday night to secure a 1-1 draw in the first leg of our Champions League round of 16 tie, and he has been handed his first Premier League start since the 3-0 win against Sunderland on February 7.<\/p>\n

Mikel has also opted to reward Noni Madueke with a chance to impress from the start after he won the spot-kick in Germany after coming off the bench, with Gabriel Martinelli named as a sub, while Riccardo Calafiori is preferred to Piero Hincapie at left-back.<\/p>\n

LINE-UP<\/h2>\n

Arsenal: <\/strong>Raya, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Zubimendi, Rice, Eze, Saka, Madueke, Havertz.
Subs: <\/strong>Arrizabalaga, White, Hincapie, Lewis-Skelly, Mosquera, Martinelli, Dowman, Gyokeres, Jesus.<\/p>\n
