Arsenal
- Arsenal have won three of their last five Premier League games (D2), beating Chelsea and Brighton during a current three-game winning streak.
- Arsenal will almost always dominate the ball and area of the field, with Martin Ødegaard the creative hub of their attacks and Declan Rice the driving force behind their transitions and defensive solidity.
- The Gunners have won 11, drawn two and lost just once at the Emirates in the PL this season, averaging an impressive 2.36 goals-per-game, which is unsurprising considering they’ve hit the net 33 times in 14 home matches.
Everton
- Everton have won three of their last five league games (L2), but they come into this Saturday’s matchup off consecutive away victories.
- Everton, meanwhile, have won seven, drawn three and lost four of their 14 away matches, conceding just 1.00 goal per-game on average, so they’re a gritty outfit on the road.
- They have won their last two matches, seeing off a struggling Newcastle side 3-2 and then beating Burnley 2-0 at home.
Head-to-Head
Arsenal have won three of the last five meetings between the sides and have not lost in those five Premier League clashes with the Toffees ( W3, D2 ).
Key Players
-
Arsenal:
- Martin Ødegaard the creative hub of their attacks and Declan Rice the driving force behind their transitions and defensive solidity.

Everton:
- The Toffees are a well-drilled unit who will set up in a compact block, protecting the space in behind well, while the likes of Dwight McNeil offer width and a set-piece threat.
- McNeil, Jarrad Branthwaite and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall will be pivotal to Everton’s chances here, with the latter top of their scoring charts with six goals in 22 league appearances.
