Venue: Emirates Stadium

Arsenal vs Everton. Team Overview

It seems that Arsenal is once again falling off winning the league title

Despite impressive performances, Mikel Arteta’s team is struggling to maintain momentum towards the end of the season, leading to a loss of crucial points. 

Series of defeats in December left them with little room for error. The defeat to Aston Villa was particularly damaging, causing Arsenal to lose their lead in the league to Manchester City.

As they prepare to face Everton, their hopes rely on Manchester City slipping up, although it seems unlikely that Guardiola’s team will relinquish their first-place position.

Meanwhile, Arsenal has been performing impressively, winning five consecutive matches after a home defeat to Aston Villa. They have secured victories against tough opponents such as Chelsea, Tottenham, and Manchester United. 

The trio of Saka, Ødegaard, and White on the right flank has demonstrated excellent teamwork for the second season. 

On the left flank, a potent combination of Tomiyasu, Rice, and Trossard has emerged, with each player complementing the others well. Tomiyasu makes powerful runs along the flank, Rice progresses the ball with precise passes, and Trossard poses a threat with his shots in the penalty area.

Defensively, Arsenal has shown reliability in high, medium, and low defensive blocks.

Everton had a very successful end to the season, securing a position comfortably away from the relegation zone.

Despite encountering various challenges this season and being penalized 8 points by the Premier League, Everton delivered strong performances in their last five home games, securing 15 points and ensuring their safety from relegation.

The team displayed an intense and aggressive style of play at Goodison Park while maintaining a strong focus on defense, resulting in fewer errors.

However, on December 16, Sean Dyche’s team secured their last victory in an away match. Interestingly, Everton had been one of the top-performing away teams in the Premier League before this, but their performance shifted. The team suffered six defeats in their last ten away matches.

In away games, Everton appears to struggle with organization and dynamism in defense, a weakness that may impact their upcoming match against Arsenal.

Arsenal vs Everton: Head-to-Head Statistics

Since 2020, Arsenal and Everton have won four head-to-head meetings each and have never drawn. 

However, Everton has only managed to beat the London club at his home twice in the history of the Premier League, with the last win coming in April 2021.

Since then, Arsenal have beaten the Merseyside side at the Emirates Stadium in two matches with a combined score of 9-1. Historically, Arsenal has been confident in playing on their field against Everton and will most likely maintain this tradition with a new victory in the next match.

Player Focus

Leandro Trossard stands out among all Arsenal’s star players. In September, he scored the decisive goal in the first match between these teams this season. The Belgian has the best season of his career, scoring 12 goals in the current English Premier League season, most of which have been crucial for the team. Leandro has scored six goals in his last seven games and he could also score against Everton. 

At Everton, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has become a crucial team player at the end of the season. In the last six games, he scored four times and was very useful in his attack due to his movements and ability to challenge opponents in every episode. The English forward is quite capable of causing problems for Arsenal on the counterattack.

Tactical Analysis

Everton will likely play in a 5-4-1 formation in a low defensive block with three holding midfielders to close off the holding zone and half spaces in front of their penalty area as much as possible.

This strategy worked well in the match between these teams at Goodison Park earlier in the season when Arsenal won 1-0 with incredible difficulty. 

However, due to the injuries of fullbacks Vitaliy Mykolenko and Nathan Patterson, Everton may use over-aged players Séamus Coleman and Ashley Young on the flanks, which may not fully compete with Arsenal’s attacking options. Arsenal will likely generate the most dangerous chances through the flanks.

Arsenal vs Everton: Prediction

Arsenal are the big favorites for the match and must win by any score, hoping that Manchester City will lose points in the parallel game.

However, whether the Gunners will strive to defeat the opponent or limit themselves to a minimal goal advantage is unclear. Therefore, we won’t risk predicting a big win for the home team. Instead, we expect that Arteta’s team will win and that there will be more than one goal in the match.
