After a run of four straight defeats, Everton have kept clean sheets in each of their last two games against Arsenal. They won 1-0 at Goodison Park in April last season, and drew 0-0 – again at Goodison – when they met earlier this season. Here are the results of their last five competitive matches:
Dec 21, 2019: Everton 0-0 Arsenal
Apr 07, 2019: Everton 1-0 Arsenal
Sep 23, 2018: Arsenal 2-0 Everton
Feb 03, 2018: Arsenal 5-1 Everton
Oct 22, 2017: Everton 2-5 Arsenal
Arsenal and Everton have both got back to good form of late, though it is the Gunners who go into this match as favourites at home.
The last meeting, when Mikel Arteta and Carlo Ancelotti had just take over, ended in a goalless draw but both teams have been firing in recent matches.
Everton went into the winter break with six goals and two wins in their last two matches, while Arsenal have come out of theirs with two wins and two clean sheets too.
Alexandre Lacazette is scoring again for Arsenal, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s fine season up front for Everton has continued apace.
The Gunners’ 4-0 win against Newcastle last weekend should provide plenty of cause for optimism, however – they totally outplayed them and thoroughly deserved their big win.
To back it up with a win at a tricky European ground against Olympiakos should boost confidence further and they now need to make home advantage pay in this fixture.
Carlo Ancelotti has revitalised Everton and their own recent form shows what they can offer in this fixture too.
But if Arsenal maintain their performance levels from last weekend, then Mikel Arteta’s side should be celebrating another win – a result which will put them above Everton in the table.
Arsenal are favourites to win at home to Everton and can be backed at 21/20 with Betway and 10Bet to do just that.
Both teams have hit some good attacking form, however, and both teams to score has been set at 8/13 with Bet365.
Over 2.5 goals brings back 8/11 with Bet365 and Betfair and Arsenal to win and BTTS is priced at 11/4 with Bet365 and Betfair.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is 19/20 to score at any time with 888sport, while Alexandre Lacazette is a best price of 17/10 with Ladbrokes having got back to form.
Arsenal are in resurgent form and the Gunners are favourites to claim all three points at home to Everton as they look to continue climbing the table.
Lucas Torreira missed out in mid-week due to illness but Dani Ceballos could partner Granit Xhaka in midfield anyway. The team could be unchanged from the win against Newcastle, though Alexandre Lacazette is pushing for a start ahead of Eddie Nketiah.
Alexandre Lacazette – Got back to goalscoring ways off the bench against Newcastle and then made it two from two when he scored against Olympiakos in mid-week.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – Started the rout against Newcastle in Arsenal’s last home league match – his 15th league goal of the season.
Nicholas Pepe – Not pulled up too many trees since his big-money move in the summer, but his goal and performance against Newcastle give him something to build on.
Arsenal have now gone nine matches unbeaten, winning the last two – after their winter break – to nil. They put four second-half goals past Newcastle in their last league game as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Nicholas Pepe, Mesut Ozil and Alexandre Lacazette all found the target, before Lacazette scored the only goal of Thursday’s 1-0 win at Olympiakos.
Fabian Delph is back from suspension and Everton remain hopeful Theo Walcott will return from a knee injury too. Bernard is also expected to feature, and Andre Gomes is back after his horror injury – featuring in a practice match during the winter break.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin – Scored his 13th goal of the season in the win against Crystal Palace in Everton’s most recent match.
Richarlison – The Brazilian was also on target in the win against Palace to make it 11 goals for the season in all competitions.
Yerry Mina – Scored twice against Watford to prove the threat he offers from set pieces, while the towering Colombian defender is key at the back too.
Everton won their last two matches before their winter break and are unbeaten in their last five in total. Yerry Mina scored twice and Theo Walcott netted a late winner as they came from 2-0 down to beat Watford despite Fabian Delph’s sending off in the first of those. Then, last time out, Bernard, Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin all scored in a 3-1 home win against Crystal Palace.
