The Everton vs Arsenal match will be played on Saturday, 5 April at the Goodison Park. This will be the 225th time both teams will lock horns against each other in a competitive fixture.

Everton has been struggling this season from the start, and they have been quite inconsistent with their performance on the pitch. They do have players who can bring positive results, but it hasn't quite worked for them till now. In the Premier League, they have played 29 games, out of which they have won seven games, drawn 13 and lost nine matches, with 34 points on the board they are 15th in the points table. Everton has dropped a lot of points this season and could have been high up in the table if they were able to win those matches. In the last five games, they have drawn four games and won just one match. At home, they will have a good opportunity to win against the Gunners and surely, they will have to be at their best to get a positive result.

The Gunners, despite being 12 points behind in the title race, will be looking to challenge Liverpool till the end of the last matchday. In 29 games, they have won 16 games, drawn 10 and lost three games with 58 points on the table, they are second in the table. They can't afford to drop points in the upcoming fixture as they still have some chance of getting ahead of Liverpool if the Reds fail to get points in their fixtures. Arteta and his men will be optimistic about their chances in the top division, and surely, at Goodison Park, they will have to play their best football to get a good result. This will be an exciting and mouthwatering clash for sure.

Key Players to Watch in Everton vs Arsenal

Thomas Partey (Arsenal)

Partey is an effective defensive midfielder who gets around the pitch well and primarily provides protection both for his team's centre-backs and their full-backs. He covers ground quickly and has an exceptional work rate. Even though he is surrounded by controversies and issues on the pitch, Arteta values him a lot and protects him from criticism.

Providing defensive help to his teammates is always his first priority but he also does his offensive duties very well, especially during the set-pieces. Partey has exceptional positional awareness and shows impressive intuition on the field. In 28 matches, he scored three goals and provided two assists. In the last five games, he made 12 tackles, two interceptions and five blocks.

Abdoulaye Doucoure (Everton)

Doucoure's role is to win the ball back for his team and initiate the first phase of Everton's counterattack. The Frenchman's defensive responsibilities are much more space-dependent, and he looks to maintain his position while defending. With a lanky frame, he is impressive in the air and wins a good number of aerial duels. His reading of the game is very good, and he doesn't make mistakes in the game quite often. He does his offensive and defensive duties very well and doesn't need a lot of help from his teammates. In 25 games, he has scored two goals and provided one assist.

Everton vs Arsenal Prediction

Last time out, it was a closely contested fixture but ended in a stalemate. The Gunners failed to win despite creating many opportunities, but this time, they will look to improve their performance and get all three points. Playing at Goodison Park is not an easy task, but Arteta's men have the quality to get a good result away from home. Most probably, the Gunners will win the match.
