Moyes Backs Arteta and Expects Branthwaite to Be Fit for Everton’s Trip to Arsenal

The Everton manager underscored that European qualification guides his player management choices.

Overview

  • David Moyes said there is no new team news and indicated Jarrad Branthwaite should be available, noting his minutes may still be managed after a previous injury.
  • Branthwaite did not travel to Portugal for Everton’s warm‑weather camp, a detail the club will factor into workload decisions for the run‑in.
  • Moyes rejected criticism of Arsenal’s physicality and set‑piece focus, calling those strengths part of the game and praising Mikel Arteta’s work.
  • Everton visit league leaders Arsenal at the Emirates on Saturday with a 17:30 GMT kick‑off.
  • After consecutive league wins and an 11‑day gap between fixtures, Moyes said pushing for Europe remains a priority that can help attract higher‑level recruits.
