Arsenal vs Everton comes before the 27th Premier League round matchup. This game will be played on Sunday, February 23, at the Emirates Stadium in London, England. In this match preview, we bring you betting tips and correct score predictions based on the analysis of these two sides.
Arsenal vs Everton Betting Tips
Arsenal is struggling with injuries ahead of the clash with Everton. There are at least 4 first-team players who will miss this game for certain, plus, there are a couple who are struggling with fitness. On top of everything, Ozil might miss the game due to personal reasons.
The good news, however, is that the Gunners have been in a pretty decent form. This team has won 3 out of their previous 4 matches in all competitions. Furthermore, Arsenal is without a defeat in 2020. Still, their form hasn’t been as good as Everton’s, at least not in the Premier League. The Toffees are in 9th place at the moment, with 2 points more than Arsenal.
And it’s mostly thanks to their coach Carlo Ancelotti. Since the legendary manager has been in charge, Everton has been playing real well. In their previous 5 Premier League games, they won 20 points. Only their city-rival Liverpool has won more points in that period. Another thing going in favor of Everton is that the Toffees don’t have too big problems with injuries.
Still, the main reason why this game could see Everton winning all 3 points is that this team loves playing against teams like Arsenal. The Gunners play possession football, which makes them vulnerable to counter-attacks. And that’s exactly the way Everton likes to play under Ancelotti. The Toffees have pacey players around the pitch, which makes them more than capable of running away from Arsenal defense. The only question is whether Everton can score more than Arsenal.

Arsenal Form and Latest News
Sokratis, Chambers, Tierney, and Soares are definitely out due to injuries. Torreira and Mari are struggling with fitness, while Ozil is having personal problems. On top of that, even the players who are available for the game are probably not 100% fit considering that they played a Europa League game against Olympiakos last Thursday in Greece.
Everton Form and Latest News
Everton have been pretty good in the Premier League, winning their previous two matches and scoring 3 goals in both. Thanks to their good run, they now have 36 points, which is only 5 fewer than Chelsea who are in the 4th place, which leads to the Champions League. And if UEFA’s Man City ban stays on, the team that ends in the 5th place might get a ticket to the elite continental competition. Right now, Tottenham is there with just 4 points more than Everton.
What all this means is that the Toffees are going to be super-motivate to get a win. And we’re not talking just about this particular game, but literally every game until the end of the season. You can expect them to play even better than they have been playing since Ancelotti’s arrival.
