Will Arsenal keep a top-3 spot in the English Premier League by the end of the 16th round? To attain this, they must beat Everton at the "Emirates," which isn't the most challenging task. Moreover, the "Gunners" have gained exceptional momentum and are attempting to chase down Liverpool. Everton's goals for the season are more modest. Most significantly, transfer is not currently a hazard. Nevertheless, Arsenal typically stumbles versus such groups. For that reason, we will think about different alternatives to make the prediction optimum.

Head-to-Head

In 37 head-to-head matches, Arsenal has a 62 percent win rate. Last season, they had a substantial playing benefit in both matches. Nevertheless, in each case, they managed 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 two objectives. Considering the team's current form, we suggest a bet on Arsenal's overall over 1.5.

Arsenal

It has ended up being apparent this season that Arsenal with Ødegaard and without him are two different teams. The Norwegian completely returned to action a month back. The Londoners have actually not suffered a single defeat during this time and only drew two times. They failed 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, but that sufficed for a draw. Recently, Arsenal hosted Monaco in the Champions League and won with class (3:0). Thanks to this, they moved up to 3rd location and are chasing after Liverpool in the English Premier League. It is worth noting that the team is experiencing personnel losses in defence. The crucial one is Gabriel, who theoretically could bet Everton The participation of Calafiori and Zinchenko is doubtful. Nevertheless, Tomiyasu and White will not play.

Everton

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

Referee and Fouls

The main referee for the match is Craig Pawson. This season, he has actually officiated 8 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 versus 10.9. The group likes to control the ball however does not forget pressing, which increases the risk of devoting fouls. Therefore, a bet on Arsenal's total fouls of over 9.5 is worth considering.

Objective Prediction

Arsenal generally begins matches really actively. They try to score an early objective and then do not shy away from pulling back closer to their own goal. Therefore, the group routinely ratings in the first half. This has been the case in 12 of their last 14 home matches. Hence, a bet on Arsenal to score in the first half is reasonably anticipated.

Corners Prediction

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

Match Prediction

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 far more challenging. The opponent will protect with a low block. In such a scenario, set-pieces must concern help. This season, Arsenal's set pieces have been impressive. Therefore, we note a possible exact rating of 2:1.

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