Team News: Muhamed Besic replaces Gareth Barry for Everton, Alex Iwobi gets Arsenal start

Besic replaces Barry, Iwobi gets first start

Muhamed Besic has replaced the suspended Gareth Barry for Everton, while Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has handed Alex Iwobi his first Premier League start for this afternoon's match at Goodison Park.

Everton boss Roberto Martinez has made just the one change, which was enforced, to the side that sealed a 2-0 victory over Chelsea in the FA Cup quarter-finals last weekend.

There is no place in the squad for Bryan Oviedo despite recently returning to training following a chest infection, so Leighton Baines will continue operating at left-back.

As for Arsenal, Wenger has also made just the one change as Mohamed Elneny comes in for Mathieu Flamini, who started in the Gunners' midweek Champions League exit to Barcelona at Camp Nou.

Danny Welbeck has been chosen to lead the line once again, with Olivier Giroud on the bench.

Everton: Robles; Baines, Funes Mori, Jagielka, Coleman; McCarthy, Besic; Cleverley, Lennon, Barkley; Lukaku Subs: Howard, Stones, Kone, Niasse, Deulofeu, Osman, Galloway

Arsenal: Ospina; Bellerin, Koscielny, Gabriel, Monreal; Coquelin, Elneny; Iwobi, Ozil, Sanchez; Welbeck Subs: Macey, Gibbs, Mertesacker, Chambers, Campbell, Walcott, Giroud
