Everton vs Arsenal Predictions

[inline_advert ad=”1″] [inline_advert ad=”2″]

Everton have taken four points from their two games against Chelsea and Manchester United since Marco Silva’s dismissal. It’s a step in the right direction after a torrid first half to the campaign. The visit of Arsenal is a great opportunity to keep that run going. They also produced a strong second-half performance in mid-week against Leicester but ultimately bowed out the Carabao Cup. It remains to be seen how much that match has taken out of this injury-hit Everton squad.

Arsenal are having their worst season in recent memory. The sacking of Unai Emery hasn’t yet had the desired effect with Arsenal struggling for wins. The Gunners are 10^th in the league and are seven points behind 4^th placed Chelsea, the same gap between them and the relegation zone. They have had longer to prepare for this match though, which will be a big help at this busy time of the season.

 

Reasons for our Everton vs Arsenal Predictions

• Duncan Ferguson has re-installed the belief and fight into this Everton team, but they are still struggling defensively and conceded two poor goals against Leicester on Wednesday.
• Arsenal are set to name Mikel Arteta as manager and the Gunners are equally as poor at the back as Everton. That will be the first thing the former player of both of these clubs needs to look at.
• See the reasons for our Everton vs Arsenal predictions below.

 

Richarlison to Score – 17/10

Four goals in his last six and up to six for the season. Richarlison has been in good form of late and will be a handful for the Arsenal defence. No side has kept fewer clean sheets than The Gunners and the suspension of Sokratis will only make matters worse. Everton look certain to score and Richarlison aerial ability makes him a strong candidate from set-pieces.

 

Over 3.5 Goals – 7/5

These two sides have suffered defensively this season with plenty of goals in their games. Three of Arsenal’s last five league games have featured over 3.5 goals with the other two featuring exactly three. For Everton it’s an average of four goals a game over the last four games in the Premier League and another high scoring match in the League Cup against Leicester.

 

Everton vs Arsenal Score Prediction – Everton to win 3/1

Arsenal were badly exposed against Manchester City and their lack of midfield presence continues to be an issue. Everton are no Man City but you can expect diligent pressing and commitment from a side reinvigorated by a change in management. Everton have a bit of an injury crisis on their hands but Holgate showed he was capable in midfield against United.
