Arsenal vs. Everton Betting Preview
Arsenal
The hosts will be favored in the Arsenal vs Everton odds and prediction for this fixture on Wednesday. It has been a sensational campaign for the Gunners, and they have likely not had a better chance to end their long wait for a top-flight title. The Gunners come into this fixture with a two-point advantage over Manchester City, and could stretch that lead to five points with victory on Wednesday.
However, Arsenal’s recent home form may be a slight concern, as they have picked up just a single victory from their previous four matches at the Emirates. Meanwhile, they have been slightly shaky defensively at home throughout the season, as they have managed to keep just two clean sheets from 16 home matches in the league.
However, the Arsenal stats will still show that they have won eight of their eleven games at the Emirates this term, and have scored 27 goals. Arteta could hand Thomas Partay a first start since returning from injury, but Mohamed Elmeny and Gabriel Jesus remain out until the middle of March.
Everton
Everton is one of the few sides in England that has never suffered relegation to the second tier, but the long-standing record is under increasing threat this term. The Toffees come into this fixture on the road in the bottom three places, and defeat on Wednesday would mean that they remain a point from safety, having played a game more than every side around them in the standings.
Away from has been a huge concern for Everton throughout this season, as they have picked up just a single victory from eleven games on the road. Meanwhile, they have scored just six goals, and have allowed 16. Their only away win this term was picked up against Southampton in October, meaning that they have now gone seven without a victory away from Goodison Park.
Before making EPL picks on the fixture, it’s also important to consider that Everton has won only one in their previous 26 visits to Arsenal, with that victory coming in April 2021. But, their overall record against the Gunners in recent meetings is encouraging, as they have picked up four wins from their last five league meetings. Everton will once again come into this fixture without key striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Arsenal vs. Everton Betting Picks
It’s incredibly difficult to look past the hosts when examining the Arsenal vs Everton odds and prediction for this matchup. The Gunners boast a sensational home record over the Toffees, and have recovered well since going three without a win by claiming victories in each of their previous two league matches.
Arsenal will likely need to be patient on Wednesday, as we don’t see them recording a wide-margin victory, but we still expect them to come through this test with a 2-0 success at the Emirates.
- Pick 1: Arsenal (-1) -105
- Pick 2: Both Teams Not To Score (-163)
