Arsenal vs Everton Preview
- Competition: Premier League.
- Date: Saturday, December 14.
- Time: 3:00 PM GMT.
- Venue: Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal vs Everton will be played in the middle kick-off slot in the Premier League on December 14 as the third-placed side will gear up to host the team in 15th place in the table.
The Gunners will enter this match on the back of a great run of form. They are unbeaten in their last seven games across competitions, which includes four wins and a draw in their last five matches as well. In that run, they have scored an impressive 16 goals and conceded just four, keeping two clean sheets as well. They secured a mammoth 3-0 win against Monaco in the Champions League in their last outing and will look to carry that momentum into their next match as well.
The Toffees, on the other hand, have been in a downturn of form of late. They have won just one of their last five matches across competitions, securing two draws and falling to two defeats in that time as well. They have scored four goals in that time and conceded five, but have surprisingly kept three clean sheets as well. They thrashed Wolves 4-0 in their last match and will derive confidence from their big win heading into the next game.
On that note, let’s take a look at the team news from both camps.
Arsenal Team News
Manager Mikel Arteta played the team’s second successive game without defensive pair Gabriel Magalhaes and Riccardo Calafiori. Oleksandr Zinchenko has also not been with the squad for the last two games, meaning the Spaniard has had to make several changes to his backline. They join Benjamin White and Takehiro Tomiyasu on the treatment table.
Everton Team News
Manager Sean Dyche fielded a full-strength lineup in his team’s last match as they secured a big win. There were several positives to take from that game, including the fact that there were no new additions to the injuries or suspension lists. However, Everton will be without the services of James Garner, Tim Irroegbunam, Armando Broja and Youssef Chermiti as well.

Key Players to Watch
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
Saka continued his amazing start to the current season with a brace and an assist in his team’s midweek win against Monaco. That takes him to four goals and two assists in four UCL games, for a total of nine goals and 12 assists in 21 games across competitions. He will look to continue his run of form in what could be a record-breaking season in terms of PL assists.
Jordan Pickford (Everton)
With three clean sheets in his last five appearances for the club, Pickford will be in the spotlight against a team that will surely test him. Arsenal can threaten from set-pieces as well as open play, making them a tough opposition to face. Pickford will have to be at his absolute best as he will face several shots.
Arsenal vs Everton Prediction
The Gunners have been in great form of late, defeating strong teams left, right, and centre. This will give them the upper hand against Everton, who have only beaten teams around them in the table.
Prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Everton
