Arsenal vs Everton Preview

Arsenal vs Everton will take place in the Premier League at the Emirates Stadium as the second-placed side gears up to host the 15th placed side on May 19.

The hosts will enter this contest on the back of a great run of form, as they have won their last five matches on the bounce. During that time, they have scored 14 goals and conceded only two, keeping clean sheets in four of those encounters. As a result, they came within touching distance of Manchester City at the top but might lose out as the Cityzens made the most of their game in-hand against Tottenham. The Gunners defeated Manchester United 1-0 in their last game and will look to finish the season well.

The visitors, on the other hand, have faced off-field adversity on two occasions this season, as they were docked a total of eight points over the course of the season. The Toffees are unbeaten in their last five games across competitions, securing four wins and one draw in that span. They have scored an impressive seven goals and conceded just once, keeping clean sheets in four of those games. Their last outing was a straightforward 1-0 win against Sheffield United at home.

With that said, let’s take a look at the team news coming out of both camps.

Arsenal vs Everton Team News

Manager Mikel Arteta will have a fully fit squad to pick from as most of their top form can be attributed to top players getting enough minutes and enough rest at decent intervals. The only doubt would be Bukayo Saka, who limped off in their previous match against United.

Everton

Manager Sean Dyche will be without a couple of his key players for the last game of the season. Nathan Patterson (hamstring), Vitaliy Mykolenko (ankle), and Dele Alli (muscle tear) are out of consideration for the next one and are only likely to return for the start of next season.

Arsenal vs Everton Predicted Lineups

Arsenal

Arteta will stick with his same trusted XI for the last game and will hope they get the job done in convincing fashion.

Predicted Lineup: David Raya (GK); Benjamin White, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Takehiro Tomiyasu; Martin Odegaard (C), Thomas Partey, Declan Rice; Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard.

Everton

Dyche, too, will retain the same combination from the last game and will hope his team can pull off an upset to end their campaign.

Predicted Lineup: Jordan Pickford (GK); Seamus Coleman (C), James Tarkowski, Jarrad Branthwaite, Ashley Young; James Garner, Idrissa Gueye, Amadou Onana, Dwight McNeil; Abdoulaye Doucoure; Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Arsenal vs Everton Head-to-Head Record

These two sides have faced off very regularly in the Premier League over the last several decades, also meeting in cup competitions on the odd occasion. However, Arsenal narrowly edged the recent head-to-head record with their three wins compared to Everton’s two in their last five meetings.

However, it is worth noting that the Gunners have been dominant at the Emirates, winning four of their last five on their own patch, scoring 14 goals in the process.

Arsenal vs Everton Prediction

Given the magnitude of what is at stake for Arsenal, they cannot afford any kind of slip-up and will be at their absolute best against the Toffees. However, both teams have been solid at the back in recent weeks, as they have each kept four clean sheets in their last five outings. This points towards a cagey affair, as Everton will be willing to defend deep in their own half.

The Gunners will look to grab an early goal to ease the nerves, as the Premier League title can still come their way if Manchester City slips up against West Ham United.

Prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Everton.

Arsenal vs Everton Betting Tips & Odds

The Gunners are by far the stronger of the two teams in question and are the favourites to win this contest next up. They are also likely to keep a clean sheet, as they have done in four of their last five games. Additionally, one cannot put it past Arsenal to turn up the style on the final day and run riot with goals if they strike first and strike early.
