Walcott boost for Gunners

Arsenal forward Theo Walcott will make his return from injury when the Gunners travel to Goodison Park on Wednesday night.

The England international suffered a shoulder injury in Arsenal's 5-2 comeback victory over Spurs in the north London derby and missed the goalless draw at Aston Villa at the weekend.

However, boss Arsene Wenger has now confirmed Walcott has recovered and is expected to go straight back into the starting line-up at Everton.

Arsenal are 7/4 to pick up all three points at Goodison on Wednesday, but the Gunners will have to improve on their performance against Villa if they are to get a result on Merseyside.

Wenger's side were uncharacteristically flat in attack at Villa Park and Walcott is expected to return to the starting line-up in a bid to freshen up the frontline after a lacklustre display last time out.

A victory for Everton is priced at 6/4 and the draw is 12/5.

Wenger confirmed the trip to Everton has come too soon for Czech international Tomas Rosicky, despite the fact he has returned to training following surgery to clear up an Achilles problem.

Wenger revealed Rosicky is close to making his first-team return, but will not be involved at Goodison Park.

"Rosicky has started training but he is not ready for the Everton game," said Wenger.

Everton remain unbeaten at home this season but David Moyes' side have managed just one win in their last seven league games.

The Gunners are currently sixth in the Premier League table and a point adrift of fifth placed Everton.
