Arsenal will play their game in hand in the Premier League on Wednesday, as they bid to open up a five-point advantage over Manchester City. Meanwhile, Everton will be looking to respond after a recent home defeat, as they look to record a quickfire double over the Gunners.
Premier League Preview
It has been an excellent response by Mikel Arteta’s side in recent weeks, as they have bounced back from going three games without defeat by winning each of their previous two. It would have certainly aided their confidence that both victories were picked up on the road, including last Saturday’s 1-0 win at the King Power Stadium against Leicester City.
Victory on Wednesday at the Emirates would open up a five-point lead over Manchester City, meaning that the title would be in their hands with 13 games left to play. However, their recent home form would be a concern for Arteta, as the Gunners have picked up just a single victory from their previous four matches at the Emirates. Meanwhile, they have kept just two clean sheets from their last 16 at home.
Everton picked up a 1-0 win in the reverse fixtures between these sides last month, which came in Sean Dyche’s first game in charge. However, the Toffees remain in the bottom three places in the Premier League standings. Their 2-0 defeat against Aston Villa over the weekend highlighted exactly where they are short on quality, as they failed to score despite creating a number of clear openings.
However, this fixture does present an opportunity for Everton to move out of the bottom three, as they are just one point shy of Leeds at present. But, they will need to take any chances that they create at the Emirates if they are to have any chance.
Arsenal vs Everton Head to Head
Everton has won four of their last five league fixtures against Arsenal, which includes their 1-0 win at Goodison last month. However, away from home against the Gunners, it has been a different story, as they have landed just one victory from 26 attempts.
Arsenal vs Everton Prediction
Arsenal’s home record in this fixture is exceptionally strong, and we struggle to see Everton creating too many chances on the road against the Gunners. It should be a straightforward evening for Arteta’s side, and we see them landing a 3-0 win to move clear at the top of the standings.
