Everton face a rather daunting trip to Arsenal, with David Moyes not wanting to give away too much on the injury front.

The Toffees suffered their first loss of the campaign last weekend as they fell to a 2-0 home loss to Chelsea.

That makes it just one Premier League win in six outings, with that solitary victory coming against Ipswich Town five weeks ago.

Life does not get any easier for Moyes as his side take on reigning champions Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Mikel Arteta's side are set to be without Bukayo Saka due to injury, while at least two more will also be absent.

Goodison News rounds up all the latest injury news from both camps ahead of the match.

What's the latest Everton team news vs Arsenal?

Moyes has seen Everton's injury issues clear up of late.

Vitalii Mykolenko has recovered from whatever issue he sustained while away on Ukraine duty.

Christian Norgaard, formerly of Arsenal, is also now back and made his debut as a late substitute against Chelsea last time out.

At a time when other teams bemoan injury and suspension issues, Everton have no confirmed senior absentees.

However, Jarrad Branthwaite was absent from training on Thursday, leading to question marks over his availability.

Moyes refused to discuss Branthwaite's fitness at his pre-match press conference on Friday.

In fact, the Scotsman did not want to discuss the fitness of any of his players, other than to say a few were suffering from general wear and tear.

As things stand, then, Branthwaite is the only player who can be deemed a doubt for the Toffees.

Out: None

Doubtful: Jarrad Branthwaite (unknown)

What's the latest Arsenal team news vs Everton?

Arsenal have more issues to contend with than Everton, it is fair to say.

Saka sustained an injury this week that is reportedly set to keep him out for up to two months.

While the full extent of the injury is not yet clear, Saka - previously hailed "outstanding" by Jamie Redknapp - will definitely sit out the clash with Everton.

Beyond Saka, fellow key player William Saliba is also a long-term absentee due to a back injury sustained at the World Cup.

Christos Tzolis is the other player who will be absent for Arsenal with a thigh injury picked up while away with Greece.

The summer signing is close to a comeback, but not in time for the visit of Everton.

Out: Bukayo Saka (thigh), William Saliba (back), Christos Tzolis (thigh)

Doubtful: None
