Everton vs Arsenal: Preview and Prediction

Sunday 7th April 2019

England Premier League
Sunday 7th April 2019
Kick off at 2:05pm BST
Venue: Goodison Park

Match Preview:

Two teams in very good form will meet on Sunday afternoon when Everton take on Arsenal at Goodison Park.

Everton have won two games in a row after wins over Chelsea and West Ham, and though Marco Silva’s team are 10^th they are only 4 points from 7^th place. It is has been a great moment for Everton and Silva given that the team had at times underperformed and there was genuine pressure on Silva’s job, despite still only having less than a season to try and build a squad and a new style of play. All of that seemed to change in March though, when the club first took two points from bitter rivals Liverpool as they drew 0-0. The club have found good form at the right time, however their home form is still questionable as they have only 1 win from their last 3.

Arsenal have not lost a game since the beginning of February when losing away to Manchester City, and their form has been amongst the best in the league picking up 13 points from the last 15 available.

The Gunners are in 4^th place and one point behind Tottenham but they do have a game in hand and are favourites to finish in the top three.

Away from home Arsenal’s record is average, with 5 wins and 5 losses. They have gone unbeaten on the road in their last two games. Their last away game ended in a 1-1 draw with Tottenham.

Team News:

Everton: Yerry Mina is still out with his hamstring injury, he is the clubs only doubt for this game

Everton vs Arsenal Head to Head:

Everton vs Arsenal Prediction:

Make no mistake this is a tough game for Arsenal, as Everton were able to beat Chelsea here a few weeks ago. Could Everton beat 3 London teams in a row? Well they say things do come in three’s. Arsenal have been in good form, although the bulk of that has come at home and if this match was at The Emirates Everton would be in real trouble. However Everton have significantly improved in the past month and look capable of causing an upset at Goodison. We also see this match containing goals, with both teams contributing to the total.
