Recent H2H results: Arsenal 4-1 Everton (Apr 2025); Everton 0-3 Arsenal (Nov 2024)
Prediction:
Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 1-2 in favor of Arsenal.
Everton likely to defend in compact blocks and attack via wide direct passes and set-pieces; Arsenal expected to control possession, overload midfield and seek quick interchanges in final third; key battle will be Everton's transition speed vs Arsenal's defensive compactness.
Arsenal's superior possession and chance creation materially increase their win probability, but Everton's home set-piece threat and transition moments raise upset risk, making a narrow Arsenal win most likely.
