Recent Head-to-Head
Arsenal trounced the Merseyside club in their last meeting a little over six months ago. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Martin Odegaard were all on the scoresheet as the Gunners won 4-0.
However, Arsenal have been unable to get a result at Goodison Park in the last six years, losing the last three in the Toffees’ home turf. Odegaard and his team would be looking to right that wrong this time around.
Arsenal vs Everton Prediction
This could turn out to be a one-sided affair with the North Londoners enjoying a bulk of the possession, and Dyche’s side sitting back and trying to attack and catch Arsenal off-guard on the counter. Everton left-back Ashley Young could be in for a difficult shift as he tries to contend with Saka. Martinelli and Havertz should also have some joy on the left flank.

Best Odds for Arsenal vs Everton
The Gunners are the clear and unsurprising favourites to win this fixture. At the time of writing, they are 3/2 to win, while an Everton victory is rated at 13/2.
