Will Arsenal maintain a top-3 spot in the English Premier League by the end of the 16th round? To attain this, they must defeat Everton at the "Emirates," which isn't the most tough job. Additionally, the "Gunners" have acquired outstanding momentum and are trying to chase down Liverpool. Everton's objectives for the season are more modest. Most importantly, transfer is not currently a risk. However, Arsenal typically stumbles versus such teams. Therefore, we will consider various options to make the forecast optimal.

Head-to-Head

In 37 head-to-head matches, Arsenal has a 62 per cent win rate. Last season, they had a substantial playing advantage in both matches. However, in each case, they managed to pull ahead by simply one goal (1:0, 2:1). Notably, in London, the "Gunners" have won 10 out of 11 head-to-head matches. In these cases, they scored a minimum of 2 objectives. Considering the group's current kind, we suggest a bet on Arsenal's total over 1.5.

Arsenal

It has ended up being obvious this season that Arsenal with Ødegaard and without him are 2 different groups. The Norwegian completely gone back to action a month back. The Londoners have actually not suffered a single defeat during this time and only 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 dominated on the field. The challenger had only two shots on objective, but 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 place and are chasing Liverpool in the English Premier League. It is worth keeping in mind that the team is experiencing workers losses in defence. The essential one is Gabriel, who theoretically could bet Everton The participation of Calafiori and Zinchenko is questionable. However, Tomiyasu and White will not play.

Everton

Everton drew against Fulham (1:1) at the end of October and then went a month without scoring. Nevertheless, there was an international break in November, so the team played only 4 matches. Throughout this period, they drew twice but then suffered a heavy defeat from Manchester United (0:4). In their last video game, the "Toffees" mirrored ball game versus Wolverhampton (4:0), marking their biggest win of the season. Significantly, Ashley Young opened the scoring, who at 39 years old stays the team's primary right-back. By halftime, Everton led by two objectives, and in the second half, 2 own goals made the distinction unseemly. The Merseyside derby was supposed to happen last round however was postponed 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 given that October. Keane missed out on 2 matches but is close to recovery.

Referee and Fouls

The primary referee for the match is Craig Pawson. This season, he has officiated eight Premier League matches. Typically, the referee recorded 24 fouls and scored 4.25 yellow cards.

Arsenal has the advantage in fouls this season-- 12.3 against 10.9. The group likes to control the ball but does not forget about pressing, which increases the risk of devoting fouls. Therefore, a bet on Arsenal's overall fouls of over 9.5 is worth considering.

Objective Forecast

Arsenal normally starts matches very actively. They attempt to score an early goal and then do not shy away from pulling away closer to their own objective. For that reason, the group routinely scores in the first half. This has actually held true in 12 of their last 14 home matches. Hence, a bet on Arsenal to score in the 1st half is reasonably anticipated.

Corners Forecast

The advantage in corners this season is with Arsenal-- 6.7 versus 4.3. There are approximately 10 corners in matches involving them, while Everton has even fewer-- 9.8. Therefore, we lean towards a bet on total corners under 10.5.

Match Prediction

The preferred for the approaching match is Arsenal. Just recently, they had a simple match against Monaco. There is a high possibility that the encounter with Everton will be far more tough. The opponent will defend with a low block. In such a circumstance, set-pieces must come to aid. This season, Arsenal's set pieces have been impressive. Therefore, we note a possible exact score 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 approaching match. Furthermore, the goal difference is not as important at this phase of the season. Therefore, as an essential bet, we recommend Everton win with a +2 handicap, particularly given that they have not lost by more than one objective margin in 13 of their last 14 matches.
