Looking far more solid in recent matches, Al Hain-Cole is backing Arteta’s men to maintain their strong home record against the Toffees with a win
Arsenal will be looking to extend their strong home record against Everton when the sides meet at the Emirates Stadium for Sunday’s Premier League clash.
Mikel Arteta’s men are unbeaten in 23 league encounters against the Toffees in front of their own fans, coming out on top in 19 of those.

However, the Toffees are in strong form after losing just one of their last 11 league fixtures, and can be backed at 11/4 (3.75) to secure a long-awaited victory here.
The sides shared a 0-0 draw when they met at Goodison Park in Arteta’s first match in charge back in December, and there are odds of 13/5 (3.60) available on them cancelling each other out yet again.
Arsenal vs Everton Team News
Cedric Soares, Calum Chambers, and Kieran Tierney are all ruled out, although Lucas Torreira could be back in contention after missing Thursday’s Europa League game with Olympiacos due to illness.
Andre Gomes is back in contention after recovering from the dislocated ankle he sustained against Tottenham in November, while Jean-Philippe Gbamin remains sidelined and Theo Walcott is doubtful.
Arsenal vs Everton Preview
That goalless draw in the reverse encounter saw the Gunners keep a first clean sheet in 15 fixtures, although they have significantly tightened up since then and come into this match having not conceded in three games.
In contrast, Carlo Ancelotti is still trying to find the right balance for his defence, overseeing just one clean sheet in eight fixtures and failing to arrest a run that has seen his side concede in 12 consecutive away league games.
Arsenal vs Everton Tips and Predictions
While this has not held Everton back in recent fixtures against the likes of Brighton, Watford and Crystal Palace, it should prove problematic against a reinvigorated Arsenal team that looks well worth the even money (2.00) odds to come out on top once again.
