Everton-Arsenal is a match of the fifth day of the Premier League and is played on Sunday at 5:30pm: TV, lineups, predictions.
After seeing the title slip away at the finest moment in the last edition of the Premier League at the end of a tight duel with Manchester City, Arsenal got off on the right foot again. The Gunners stumbled only in the derby with Fulham on the third day of the championship, with the Cottagers able to take away a point (2-2) from Emirates Stadium.
Just a mishap for Mikel Arteta’s team, which a week later, before the national team break, won the big match with Manchester United, beaten 3-1 in London. Odegaard, new signing Rice and Gabriel Jesus gave the Basque-born coach his third win of the season, allowing the London club to keep pace with direct competitors, both for the title and for a place in the Champions League. Arsenal, however, which must replicate, in addition to the irrepressible Manchester City – the only team still with full points after five rounds – Tottenham, Liverpool and Brighton, which all won yesterday, distancing the Gunners, engaged in the last Sunday match with Everton.
The Gunners haven’t won at Goodison Park since 2017
Despite the turbulent seasons experienced by the Toffees, who ran the risk of relegation to the Championship two years in a row, Goodison Park represents a taboo for Arsenal.
Everton fans
Yeah, because the North London club has failed to conquer the Liverpool stadium even since 2017, and last season the 1-0 defeat contributed to the Gunners losing a title that three months before the end of the championship seemed to have already been won. Will this be the case this time as well? At the moment, Sean Dyche’s team is not doing so well, and this is nothing new: after three defeats in a row, a string in which Tarkowski and his teammates did not score a single goal, Everton won their first point before the break, drawing 2-2 at home to newly promoted Sheffield United: another season of woes is on the horizon.
The Prediction
Goodison Park may be a difficult pitch for Arsenal, but at the moment this Everton side doesn’t give the impression that it can trouble the Gunners and prevent them from returning to London with the three points in their pockets.
