Arsenal v Everton: Prediction, Tips and Odds

Arsenal were frustrated in a 1-1 draw away at Fulham in their last Premier League fixture but they have dropped only four points in seven home matches and should have too much quality for 15th-placed Everton at the Emirates on Saturday.

The Gunners had a late Bukayo Saka goal disallowed at Craven Cottage as they missed the chance to close the gap on leaders Liverpool, keeping them six points behind the pace having played one game more.

Everton, meanwhile, eased their relegation pressure with an emphatic 4-0 victory at home to Wolves last time out, although that keeps them only five points above the bottom three.

Arsenal v Everton betting tips and predictions

Arsenal to win to nil - 4/5

Clean sheets have been tougher to find for Arsenal this season but the Gunners have won their last two home league games against Nottingham Forest and Manchester United to nil.

The Gunners have also won their last three meetings with Everton, keeping two clean sheets, and they should maintain that dominance in their familiar surroundings at the Emirates.

Mikel Arteta’s side have won five and drawn two of their seven home league games this season, being held only in score draws with Brighton and Liverpool.

That means Arsenal have lost only one of their last 16 home league fixtures and they should be able to overwhelm an Everton side that have won just one of their seven away trips this term.

The Toffees’ only away win came at third-bottom Ipswich and that is their sole road success in 18 attempts, highlighting the difficulty that they are faced with in the capital.

Sean Dyche’s side have failed to score in their last three away league games at Southampton, West Ham and Manchester United and they may struggle to breach Arsenal’s title-chasing defence.

Arsenal need a response after their latest 1-1 draw at Fulham and their effortless 3-0 win at home against Monaco in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday should have restored some belief in their bid to do so.

William Saliba over 0.5 shots - 1/1

Set-pieces remain a potent weapon in Arsenal’s armoury and French centre-back William Saliba carries a lot of that threat.

Saliba has scored in back-to-back Premier League matches against Manchester United and Fulham, with Arsenal scoring nine of their 29 goals from set pieces.

With that in mind, Saliba looks a big price to register a shot, especially given the Gunners have racked up 101 corners across 15 games at an average of 6.7 per outing.

With Gabriel still nursing an injury, Saliba should be the target man in the box from corners and he can cause plenty of problems for Everton’s rearguard, which has conceded 13 goals in seven away games.

Vitaliy Mykolenko to be shown a card - 4/1

Vitaliy Mykolenko has made Everton’s left-back spot his own in recent months but that could be problematic against Arsenal as he is set to line up against the in-form Bukayo Saka.

Arsenal’s tricky winger has drawn 30 fouls in 14 appearances this season, which is an average of 2.32 per outing, and he is sure to ask plenty of questions of Mykolenko.

The Ukraine international may struggle to contain his influence on the game and he was booked in Everton’s last away trip at Old Trafford.
