Arsenal vs Everton Preview
Arsenal
After three impressive wins over Nottingham Forest (3-0), Sporting (5-1) and West Ham (5-2), Arsenal hardly got a win over Manchester United just by scoring from corners. They also drew away with Fulham 1-1, again scoring only from a corner kick.
In the last two Premier League matches, Mikel Arteta’s side faced significant challenges in positional attacks. This was mainly due to opponents implementing tight personal marking against Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard.

These two players are Arsenal’s primary playmakers, significantly impacting the team’s success in the final third of the pitch. Saka and Ødegaard currently lack support on the right flank from Ben White, who’ll only return around March. Although Arteta may use Jurriën Timber on the right flank, the Dutchman can combine effectively with Saka and Ødegaard.
However, in the match against Monaco, Arsenal unexpectedly showed bright attacking play on the left flank, where Gabriel Martinelli and Mikel Merino worked well together.
This teamwork drew the attention of Monaco’s defenders away from Saka and Ødegaard and allowed Arsenal to launch balanced attacks through both flanks. This allowed the Gunners to create many dangerous chances and defeat their opponents 3-0.

Arsenal have already lost many points in the Premier League this season. It’s crucial for them to secure a win against their next opponent, who is currently at the bottom of the table.
Moreover, Arteta’s team excels at pressing, counter-pressing, and completely neutralizing their opponents’ attacks. And on their home field, with the support of their fans, the Gunners will surely show maximum intensity in all phases of the game.

Everton
Everton have made significant progress in the league standings compared to their position at the start of the season. After five rounds, they were in 19th place with four defeats and one draw.
Much of their improvement is attributed to their points in home matches at Goodison Park. In away matches, Sean Dyche`s team have only one win this season, four defeats and two draws.
Everton beat Ipswich in mid-October, but they suffered defeats in November and December against Southampton (currently in 20th place) with a score of 0-1 and against Manchester United (0-4).

Fullbacks Ashley Young and Vitalii Mykolenko were extremely unstable in their positions while James Tarkowskii and Jarrad Branthwaite also made mistakes in the centre of defence.
In the last away match against Manchester United, Everton suffered too many losses of the ball under pressure, leading to four conceded goals. How the Toffees will stop an opponent as powerful as Arsenal at the Emirates is uncertain.

Arsenal vs Everton Head-to-Head Statistics
In nine of their last ten matches at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal have beaten Everton.
The only time the Toffees managed to win an away match against the Gunners was during the 2020-21 season. Goalkeeper Bernd Leno, who was then defending for Arsenal, scored an own goal.
Since that incident, the Gunners have secured three wins on home ground against Everton with a combined score of 11-2, confidently beating their opponents.
However, Arteta’s team scored the winning goal in the 89th minute last season after failing to convert several big chances during the match.

After recovering from a serious injury, Martin Ødegaard quickly regained his optimal physical condition in recent matches. He played a crucial role in pressing and counter-pressing, as well as high-quality passes to Bukayo Saka.
Dwight McNeil is Everton’s most consistent player this season. He creates dangerous chances for his partners in every match and is disciplined in defence. It’s also worth noting that McNeil is incredibly dangerous in completing quick attacks, confirmed by his three goals and three assists.
Arsenal vs Everton Preview, Tactical Analysis
Everton will most likely defend in a low block and try to hold off Arsenal’s key attacking players, Saka and Ødegaard, as much as possible.
The Gunners, in turn, will probably try to attack and counter-press powerfully to apply maximum pressure on their opponents. They’ll pose a significant threat during set-pieces.
Arsenal vs Everton Prediction
- Football Pick: Arsenal to win
- Odds: 1.24 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Everton
Arsenal are one of the best teams in the Premier League in terms of home results. They’ve won five in seven matches and have not lost any.
After an exhausting match against Monaco, the Gunners may struggle to maintain their dynamic attack throughout the game against Everton. But that will hardly prevent the hosts, who are motivated to win, from getting three points in this meeting.
Arsenal vs Everton Prediction, Betting Tip
- Football Pick: W1 (Arsenal to win) And Total Over 1.5
- Odds: 1.43 (22Bet)
Everton have conceded three or more goals against top rivals Tottenham (0-4), Aston Villa (2-3) and Manchester United (0-4). In the match against Arsenal, a crushing defeat is also quite possible.
However, considering Arteta’s team’s participation in the Champions League, it may not be wise to predict a high-scoring match. On the other hand, in the game against Monaco, the Gunners showed great variety in attack and equal distribution on the flanks. So, in the next match, the hosts are capable of creating big problems for their opponents.
It is reasonable to assume that Arsenal will be able to win this game and score more than one goal, which could be enough to get three points.
