Darron Gibson is finally back from injury for Everton, and slots right into their starting XI for their crucial match against Arsenal. Arsene Wenger looks to be playing Aaron Ramsey as a wide player again, and has selected Theo Walcott ahead of Lukas Podolski, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Gervinho on the other flank. Thomas Vermaelen will play left back.
