Will Arsenal retain a top-3 area in the English Premier League by the end of the 16th round? To achieve this, they must beat Everton at the "Emirates," which isn't the most tough task. Moreover, the "Gunners" have actually gotten outstanding momentum and are attempting to chase down Liverpool. Everton's objectives for the season are more modest. Most importantly, relegation is not currently a danger. Nevertheless, Arsenal often stumbles against such groups. Therefore, we will consider various choices to make the forecast optimum.

Head-to-Head

In 37 head-to-head matches, Arsenal has a 62 percent win rate. Last season, they had a significant playing advantage in both matches. However, in each case, they handled to pull ahead by simply one goal (1:0, 2:1). Significantly, in London, the "Gunners" have won 10 out of 11 head-to-head matches. In these cases, they scored at least two objectives. Thinking about the team's current kind, we recommend a bet on Arsenal's overall over 1.5.

Arsenal

It has become apparent this season that Arsenal with Ødegaard and without him are two different teams. The Norwegian totally returned to action a month ago. The Londoners have 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 controlled on the field. The opponent had only two shots on objective, however that was enough for a draw. Just 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 Liverpool in the English Premier League. It is worth keeping in mind that the group is experiencing personnel losses in defence. The essential 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 an international break in November, so the team played just 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 against Wolverhampton (4:0), marking their most significant win of the season. Notably, Ashley Young opened the scoring, who at 39 years of ages stays the group's primary right-back. By halftime, Everton led by 2 goals, and in the second half, 2 own objectives made the distinction unseemly. The Merseyside derby was supposed to occur last round but was held off due to climate condition. It ought to be noted that Garner and Airogbunam will not play in the approaching match, as they have been out given that October. Keane missed out on 2 matches however is close to recovery.

Referee and Fouls

The primary referee for the match is Craig Pawson. This season, he has actually officiated 8 Premier League matches. Typically, 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 team likes to control the ball but does not ignore pressing, which increases the threat of devoting fouls. For that reason, a bet on Arsenal's overall fouls of over 9.5 is worth considering.

Goal Forecast

Arsenal typically starts matches extremely actively. They attempt to score an early goal and after that do not avoid pulling away closer to their own goal. Therefore, the group regularly ratings in the very first half. This has actually been the case in 12 of their last 14 home matches. Hence, a bet on Arsenal to score in the first half is fairly expected.

Corners Prediction

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

Match Prediction

The favourite for the upcoming match is Arsenal. Just recently, they had an easy match against Monaco. There is a high likelihood that the encounter with Everton will be far more challenging. The opponent will defend with a low block. In such a scenario, set-pieces should concern aid. This season, Arsenal's set pieces have been impressive. Therefore, we keep in mind a possible exact score of 2:1.

Last season, Arsenal did not beat Everton by more than one goal margin even when. If they open the scoring, they may play more strictly in defence in the approaching match. Furthermore, the goal difference is not as important at this stage of the season. Therefore, as a crucial bet, we recommend Everton win with a +2 handicap, especially because they have not lost by more than one goal margin in 13 of their last 14 matches.
