Will Arsenal maintain 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 task. Additionally, the "Gunners" have gotten excellent momentum and are attempting to chase down Liverpool. Everton's objectives for the season are more modest. Most notably, transfer is not presently a risk. However, Arsenal frequently stumbles against such teams. Therefore, we will consider different choices to make the forecast optimum.

Head-to-Head

In 37 head-to-head matches, Arsenal has a 62 per cent win rate. Last season, they had a considerable playing advantage in both matches. Nevertheless, in each case, they handled to pull ahead by simply one objective (1:0, 2:1). Especially, in London, the "Gunners" have won 10 out of 11 head-to-head matches. In these cases, they scored a minimum of 2 objectives. Thinking about the group's existing form, we recommend a bet on Arsenal's overall over 1.5.

Arsenal

It has actually become apparent this season that Arsenal with Ødegaard and without him are two various groups. The Norwegian fully returned to action a month back. The Londoners have actually 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 location and are going after Liverpool in the English Premier League. It deserves keeping in mind that the group is experiencing personnel losses in defence. The key one is Gabriel, who in theory might play against Everton The involvement of Calafiori and Zinchenko is questionable. Nevertheless, Tomiyasu and White will not play.

Everton

Everton drew versus Fulham (1:1) at the end of October and after that went a month without scoring. However, there was a worldwide break in November, so the team played only four matches. During this duration, they drew two times however then suffered a heavy defeat from Manchester United (0:4). In their last game, the "Toffees" mirrored ball game against Wolverhampton (4:0), marking their biggest win of the season. Especially, Ashley Young opened the scoring, who at 39 years old stays the team's primary right-back. By halftime, Everton led by two objectives, and in the second half, two own goals made the distinction unseemly. The Merseyside derby was supposed to occur last round however was delayed due to weather conditions. It needs to be noted that Garner and Airogbunam will not play in the upcoming match, as they have been out since October. Keane missed out on 2 matches however is close to healing.

Referee and Fouls

The main referee for the match is Craig Pawson. This season, he has officiated eight Premier League matches. On average, the referee taped 24 fouls and scored 4.25 yellow cards.

Arsenal has the advantage in fouls this season-- 12.3 against 10.9. The group likes to manage the ball but does not ignore pushing, which increases the danger of dedicating fouls. For that reason, a bet on Arsenal's total fouls of over 9.5 deserves thinking about.

Goal Prediction

Arsenal usually begins matches really actively. They attempt to score an early goal and then do not avoid retreating closer to their own goal. Therefore, the team regularly scores in the very first half. This has held true in 12 of their last 14 home matches. Thus, 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 versus 4.3. There are approximately 10 corners in matches including them, while Everton has even fewer-- 9.8. Therefore, we lean towards a bet on overall corners under 10.5.

Match Forecast

The favourite for the upcoming match is Arsenal. Just recently, they had a simple match versus Monaco. There is a high likelihood that the encounter with Everton will be far more challenging. The opponent will safeguard with a low block. In such a circumstance, set-pieces must concern aid. This season, Arsenal's set pieces have been impressive. For that reason, we keep in mind a possible precise rating of 2:1.

Last season, Arsenal did not beat Everton by more than one goal margin even once. If they open the scoring, they might play more strictly in defence in the approaching match. Moreover, the objective difference is not as important at this stage of the season. For that reason, as a key bet, we recommend Everton win with a +2 handicap, specifically since they have not lost by more than one goal margin in 13 of their last 14 matches.
