Premier League: Arsenal x Everton, Match Preview, Odds and Predictions(19/05/2024)

This season, Arsenal has been a real threat to Manchester City in the league. If the Gunners beat Everton in their final game, they can guarantee they have done their part and wait for the outcome of Manchester City's match with West Ham United. Yet Everton isn't a chump. They showed remarkable resiliency this season by surviving the relegation race despite a 6-point reduction for PSR violations. Due to his team's recent success, Toffees manager Sean Dyche was named Premier League Manager of the Month for April. They kept up their remarkable home run after Saturday's 1-0 victory against Sheffield. But Arsenal will try to break their 20-year trophy drought with a defeat at the Emirates.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

Arsenal, who were relegated to second place in the Premier League earlier this week after being forced to watch Manchester City depose them, will be the hosts on Sunday. Arsenal are now considered heavy underdogs to win their first domestic championship since 2004 after starting the season two points behind the reigning champions and hoping for a historic shock against West Ham at the Etihad Stadium. 

Even though the Gunners may lose their championship challenge in this match, they are still getting praise. The lads under Mikel Arteta have won their past five consecutive Premier League matches by an aggregate score of 14-2. last weekend, they produced another impressive effort as they triumphed 1-0 away at traditional rivals Manchester United. 

Arsenal will be confident in their ability to make another statement here, even if they may be hoping for a genuine miracle on Sunday afternoon.

Regarding the guests, Everton may have started the new year in the thick of another battle for survival in the Premier League, but Sean Dyche's squad has recovered astonishingly. The Toffees have soared up the rankings, and the atmosphere at Goodison Park is at an all-time high, having amassed 13 points from their last five matches. 

The former Burnley manager has been getting a lot of acclaim for his team's recent tenacious play, which resulted in a 1-0 home win against Sheffield United. 

In addition to their historic 2-0 victory against Liverpool on April 24th, Everton had gone winless in their last eight matches dating back to March 30th. 

Even though they may face a huge obstacle here, Dyche's squad will be eager to give North London a tough test.

Arsenal x Everton Team News

Even though England international Bukayo Saka may have hobbled off the field at Old Trafford last weekend, Arteta has verified that Arsenal's offensive genius has been authorized to play a pivotal part in this match. It is unclear if Jurrien Timber, a defender from Ajax, will be a part of Arteta's roster despite his return to first-team training.

After scoring the game-winning goal against Manchester United on Sunday, Belgium international Leandro Trossard will again start ahead of Gabriel Martinelli in the starting lineup. Trossard has scored four goals in his last five Premier League games.

Due to injury concerns, Everton will be without key players, including Jack Harrison, Vitalii Mykolenko, Dele Alli, and Nathan Patterson (Scottish defender). On Sunday afternoon, Dyche will take his traveling team on a trip, and the Toffees are hoping Andre Gomes can be ready to play again.

The attacking threat for Everton will come from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, the England international who has scored four goals in his last six Premier League games. James Tarkowski and the on-fire Jarrad Branthwaite will form Dyche's central defense, continuing their strong connection.

Our Predictions

Arsenal to win to nil @1.84 on Sky247.ng

On Sunday, Arsenal can only play their role in securing their first Premier League title since 2004, knowing that a minimum of three points is required. After winning their past five Premier League matches and securing a 1-0 away win over traditional rivals Manchester United last weekend, Arteta's team is justifiably penciled in as a heavy favorite. Even if Everton are riding high in the Premier League, it's hard to see them pulling off a historic shock in north London.

Over 2.5 goals @1.36 on Sky247.ng

Everton vs. Arsenal is an exciting matchup that can produce unexpected outcomes. Since the beginning of April, the Blues have secured 17 out of a potential 24 points. Their home victory run stands at five games, during which they have not allowed a single goal. But they're abysmal on the road, losing all ten of their previous away games. On the last day of the league, they will face an in-form Arsenal team, and it's hard to see them even drawing. We're going with a total of 2.5 goals for the Arsenal vs. Everton match.
