Everton manager David Moyes has confirmed that Dwight McNeil will feature in tonight’s Premier League match against Arsenal. The club shared the update via their verified X handle, offering clarity on McNeil’s fitness and importance to the team.
In Everton’s post, Moyes spoke highly of the winger and his value to the squad, stating:
“Dwight is an experienced player and a really important player for us and has been in the past here. He has missed a few injuries when I came in to the Club, so he has the opportunity today.
The boss on tonight’s team and more ahead of #EVEARS…”
Softfootball can confirm that McNeil has been sidelined for a period due to injury and was absent when Everton lost 2–0 to Chelsea in their previous league outing. His return is seen as a timely boost for the Toffees as they face one of the league’s in-form sides.
Chelsea, who defeated Everton in that match, were themselves held to a draw by Newcastle earlier today, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the Premier League.
Everton will host Arsenal tonight at 8:00 pm British time at Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool. While Arsenal arrive in good form, Everton will be hoping that McNeil’s experience and home advantage could help them spring a surprise against the Gunners.
