It's the first Premier League weekend of the run-in proper, with the action starting at Goodison Park in the early kick-off, live on TNT Sports and discovery+.
Mikel Arteta's Arsenal are the visitors to Merseyside, as The Toffees look to bounce back from their narrow loss to Liverpool on Wednesday night.
For The Gunners, a seemingly receding injury crisis has turned into another one, with Gabriel out for the season after limping off in midweek against Fulham and a quartet of other defenders on the treatment table.
Ahead of Saturday's meeting - that could have big implications at both ends of the table - it's over to you to cast your votes on the burning questions...

Who should replace Gabriel?

Of all the players to go down injured ahead of their critical season run-in, Arsenal would have wished it not to be Gabriel.
Declan Rice said the Brazilian has been arguably their "best player this season", while William Saliba previously joked that his defensive partner has been "carrying him" this term.
As such, his absence for the rest of the campaign is a hugely untimely one for the club.
As Arteta could also be without Ben White, Jurrien Timber, Riccardo Calafiori and Takehiro Tomiyasu in additon to Gabriel, who should come into the backline in place of the Brazilian?

Should Saka start?

Bukayo Saka came back with a bang in Arsenal's win over Fulham, scoring within seven minutes of coming off the bench in the second half.
The England winger has been sorely missed by his club, but how quickly should they bring him back into the fold?
Should he come into the starting XI on Saturday, or should he remain on the bench as he continues his recovery, especially with one eye on Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League next week?

Can Everton finish above Man Utd and Spurs?

David Moyes has overseen a stirring revival on Merseyside as Everton have crept away from the drop zone, doubling the points tally he found on arrival to all but secure their Premier League status for next season, as they move to their sparkling new home at Bramley-Moore Dock.
Such has been the Toffees' resurgence - and also such have been the difficult fortunes of Manchester United and Spurs - that Everton currently stand a decent chance of finishing above both those sides.
Can Moyes mastermind a win over Arsenal that could help this remarkable scenario come to pass?

Should Arteta rest players ahead of Real Madrid?

What is Arsenal's priority for the rest of the season? With the Premier League title seemingly beyond them, should they focus on the Champions League?
Real Madrid arrive at the Emirates on Tuesday for the first leg of the two sides' quarter-final tie, with Carlo Ancelotti's team showing some defensive vulnerability of late, conceding four times to Real Sociedad and twice to lowly Leganes in their last two outings.
