Unai Emery is likely to recall a number of first-team regulars for Arsenal’s Premier League clash at home to Everton on Sunday.

The Gunners head coach made eight alterations for Thursday’s 4-2 Europa League win over Vorskla Poltava but the likes of Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Alexandre Lacazette will be pushing for returns.

Lucas Torreira took a knock to the knee during the game but Emery hopes he will be fine to face the Toffees, while Laurent Koscielny (Achilles), Sead Kolasinac (knee), Ainsley Maitland-Niles (leg) and Carl Jenkinson (ankle) remain absent.

Provisional squad: Cech, Leno, Bellerin, Lichtsteiner, Holding, Mustafi, Mavropanos, Papastathopoulos, Monreal, Xhaka, Elneny, Torreira, Guendouzi, Ramsey, Iwobi, Mkhitaryan, Ozil, Welbeck, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Everton’s joint top-scorer Richarlison returns to the squad following suspension.

The Brazilian scored three goals in his first two games prior to his sending off against Bournemouth last month.

Defender Yerry Mina could come into contention for his debut after a full week of training following a foot problem.

Fellow centre-back Phil Jagielka should be ready to train with the squad again next week following a knee injury but Andre Gomes (hamstring) and Seamus Coleman (foot) remain sidelined.

Provisional squad: Pickford, Kenny, Holgate, Zouma, Digne, Mina, Schneiderlin, Gueye, Davies, Walcott, Sigurdsson, Calvert-Lewin, Tosun, Richarlison, Stekelenburg, Baines, Browning, Dowell, Niasse, Lookman, Bernard.
