Form
Arsenal sit third in the Premier League table with 29 points from fifteen matches. The Gunners are six points adrift of leaders Liverpool having played one game more. Mikel Arteta’s side extended their unbeaten run to five league games last time out but a 1-1 draw at Fulham could be considered two points dropped.
Arsenal are unbeaten in fourteen matches in all competitions at the Emirates Stadium and warmed up for this weekend’s visit of Everton with a 3-0 win over Monaco in the UEFA Champions League. Arsenal have won three straight home games without conceding a goal.
Everton have enjoyed a prolonged rest period after last weekend’s Merseyside derby was postponed. The Toffees’ last league game was a convincing 4-0 win over Wolves almost two weeks ago. That convincing win over their relegation rivals ended a run of five matches without a win. Everton have failed to score a single goal in their last three away matches.
Team News
Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu remain absent for the Gunners whilst they have a number of fitness doubts ahead of Saturday including Riccardo Calafiori, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Gabriel. 18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly put in an impressive display against Monaco during the week and could once again get the nod at left-back.
James Garner and Tim Iroegbunam remain long-term absentees for Everton but Michael Keane is pushing for a return having missed their last four league games with a knee injury.
Arsenal v Everton: Head-to-Head
Arsenal completed a league double over Everton last season including a 2-1 win when Everton last visited the Emirates in May. Idrissa Gueye had given Everton the lead before goals for Tomiyasu and Kai Havertz handed Arsenal all three points.
Everton have won five of their last eleven matches against Arsenal but four of those wins have come at Goodison Park. The Toffees have won just one of their last 30 away games against Arsenal in all competitions with only two league wins away at Arsenal since the formation of the Premier League.
Betting Tips
Arsenal’s dominance in home league games against Everton makes The Gunners red-hot favourites to take all three points on Saturday. Arsenal may be too short at 1/5 to back as a single but would make a solid inclusion in any accumulator or bet builder bet this weekend.
Arsenal have won three successive home matches without conceding whilst Everton are goalless in three straight away games. Arsenal to win to nil seems a very logical bet. At 3/5, this offers a great value alternative to just backing Arsenal to win.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have been labelled as the ‘new Stoke City’ thanks to their unprecedented success from set pieces. The Gunners have scored a league-high 23 goals from set pieces since the start of the 2023/24 campaign with their central defenders offering tremendous value in the any time score market. Gabriel is Arsenal’s joint-third highest scorer in the Premier League with three goals to his name and is priced fairly at 23/5 to score at any time on Saturday. However, Gabriel’s central defensive partner William Saliba is undoubtedly the standout pick in this market. Saliba has scored in back-to-back league games against Fulham and Manchester United yet he can be backed at a huge 12/1 to score for a third straight Premier League game.
Bukayo Saka has been in excellent form for Arsenal in recent weeks and heads into the weekend boasting five goals and six assists in Arsenal’s last six matches in all competitions. Saka is 7/10 to score or assist against Everton and this seems an inevitability.
