Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Arsenal vs. Everton at English Premier League
Arsenal must focus only on itself and nothing more. Their destiny isn’t solely in their hands anymore, but this team has to fight until the very end. Everton comes to the Emirates with an intention to ruin the Gunners’ plans. The Toffees play solid football these days, and even though it’s not that appealing, solid results cover all that.
Arsenal
If weren’t for that loss at home to Aston Villa, Arsenal would be in a much better position right now. That one could be very expensive at the end of the campaign. Now, the team plays superbly, having five straight triumphs, packing 14 goals throughout that span, and posting four clean sheets.
The most recent victory was over Manchester United at Trafford the previous Sunday, 0-1, in a game in which Arteta’s unit managed to control the situation without spending too much energy.
When playing at Emirates, Arsenal has one loss and tie and eight victories in the last 10 games. They’ve scored twice or more in all but one game, making them extremely lethal in front of own crowd.
Everton
At one moment, it seemed that the Toffees might slip to the Championship. But Sean Dyche shifted into turbo and his boys made a decisive run away from the red zone to the safety. The team from Goodison hadn’t lost in five consecutive events, winning four and posting one tie.
Sure, the games were dull and pretty rigid, but in the end, nobody remembers that. All the matches during this defeatless streak had under 2.5 goals, four of them with Everton not allowing a goal. That’s Dyche’s trademark: dull games and very, very strong defense.
However, Everton is extremely poor away from Goodison. Eleven consecutive games without a victory are the ultimate proof of this claim. Six were defeats and five ended without winners, with eight of them ending under 2.5 hits.
Arsenal: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Trossard
Everton: Pickford; Coleman, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Young; Harrison, Garner, Gueye, McNeil; Doucoure; Calvert-Lewin
Arsenal defeated Everton in Liverpool in September last year, 0-1. The sole scorer was Trossard in the middle of the second half. The Gunners have been very confident against the Toffees at the Emirates, winning the last three clashes, with a combined goal-difference of 11-1.
There isn’t too much to think here, because Arsenal’s position forces the hosts to be aggressive and offensive-minded right from the kick-off. Everton is a tough team, but away from home, they are beneath the average, while Arsenal looks unstoppable at the Emirates. Our suggestion here would be the home team to win and cover a 1.5-goal spread.
Our verdict: Arsenal -1.5
