Will Arsenal retain a top-3 spot in the English Premier League by the end of the 16th round? To attain this, they must defeat Everton at the "Emirates," which isn't the most difficult job. Moreover, the "Gunners" have gotten excellent momentum and are trying to chase down Liverpool. Everton's goals for the season are more modest. Most importantly, transfer is not presently a hazard. Nevertheless, Arsenal typically stumbles against such teams. Therefore, we will consider different options to make the prediction optimal.

Head-to-Head

In 37 head-to-head matches, Arsenal has a 62 per cent win rate. Last season, they had a substantial playing benefit in both matches. However, in each case, they handled to pull ahead by just one goal (1:0, 2:1). Notably, in London, the "Gunners" have won 10 out of 11 head-to-head matches. In these cases, they scored at least 2 objectives. Considering the team's existing kind, we recommend a bet on Arsenal's total over 1.5.

Arsenal

It has actually ended up being evident this season that Arsenal with Ødegaard and without him are two different groups. The Norwegian fully gone back to action a month back. The Londoners have not suffered a single defeat during this time and just drew two times. They stopped working to beat Chelsea (1:1) and Fulham (1:1). In the latter case, luck was not on the "Gunners'" side, as they dominated on the field. The challenger had only 2 shots on objective, however that sufficed for a draw. Recently, Arsenal hosted Monaco in the Champions League and won with class (3:0). Thanks to this, they went up to third place and are chasing after Liverpool in the English Premier League. It deserves noting that the group is experiencing personnel losses in defence. The key one is Gabriel, who in theory could play against Everton The participation of Calafiori and Zinchenko is doubtful. However, Tomiyasu and White will not play.

Everton

Everton drew against Fulham (1:1) at the end of October and then went a month without scoring. However, there was a global break in November, so the team played just 4 matches. Throughout this duration, they drew twice however then suffered a heavy defeat from Manchester United (0:4). In their last game, the "Toffees" mirrored the score against Wolverhampton (4:0), marking their most significant win of the season. Significantly, Ashley Young opened the scoring, who at 39 years old remains the group's primary right-back. By halftime, Everton led by 2 objectives, and in the 2nd half, two own goals made the difference unseemly. The Merseyside derby was expected to take place last round but was delayed due to climate condition. It must be kept in mind that Garner and Airogbunam will not play in the approaching match, as they have actually been out since October. Keane missed 2 matches but is close to healing.

Referee and Fouls

The primary referee for the match is Craig Pawson. This season, he has actually officiated eight Premier League matches. Usually, the referee tape-recorded 24 fouls and scored 4.25 yellow cards.

Arsenal has the advantage in fouls this season-- 12.3 versus 10.9. The team likes to control the ball but does not forget about pushing, which increases the danger of dedicating fouls. For that reason, a bet on Arsenal's total fouls of over 9.5 is worth thinking about.

Goal Prediction

Arsenal generally begins matches extremely actively. They attempt to score an early goal and then do not shy away from retreating closer to their own objective. For that reason, the team frequently scores in the very first half. This has been the case in 12 of their last 14 home matches. Hence, a bet on Arsenal to score in the 1st half is reasonably expected.

Corners Forecast

The advantage in corners this season is with Arsenal-- 6.7 against 4.3. There are approximately 10 corners in matches involving them, while Everton has even fewer-- 9.8. For that reason, we lean towards a bet on total corners under 10.5.

Match Forecast

The favourite for the upcoming match is Arsenal. Recently, they had an easy match against Monaco. There is a high probability that the encounter with Everton will be much more challenging. The challenger will protect with a low block. In such a situation, set-pieces need to pertain to aid. This season, Arsenal's set pieces have been impressive. For that reason, we keep in mind a potential precise rating of 2:1.

Last season, Arsenal did not beat Everton by more than one objective margin even when. If they open the scoring, they may play more strictly in defence in the upcoming match. Furthermore, the goal distinction is not as vital at this stage of the season. For that reason, as an essential bet, we recommend Everton win with a +2 handicap, specifically considering that they have not lost by more than one objective margin in 13 of their last 14 matches.
