Everton v Arsenal

Everton vs Arsenal Preview

Everton play host to Arsenal at Goodison Park in Sunday afternoon's instalment in this weekend's Premier League action upon their return following the international break as The Toffees still find themselves searching for their first league win of this English top flight season while Arsenal will be wanting to extend their unbeaten run to five matches.

Everton look to have another tough and long campaign ahead of them again in this season's Premier League as the hosts have failed to win any of their opening four games of this new term and having suffered three defeats within this opening period, The Toffees face an uphill task of containing a confident Arsenal outfit on Sunday afternoon.

Early season defeats to Fulham, Aston Villa and Wolves are perhaps even more significant as these were against teams that Everton may have fancied getting points against and this makes this upcoming tussle with Arsenal a potentially even more difficult task for Sean Dyche's men.

The bigger picture shows Everton have managed to capture just three wins out of their last 19 matches in the Premier League and this sort of form certainly doesn't bode well for this Sunday's fixture while goals could also feature as six of Everton's last 10 games have resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Arsenal occupy fifth place in the early Premier League standings as The Gunners have made a solid start to this new English top flight campaign by collecting three wins and a draw so far, and this upcoming trip to merseyside to take on Everton surely represents a golden opportunity for Mikel Arteta's men to pick up another three points here.

Victories against Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace and Manchester United, the latter being a comprehensive 3-1 home win over the Red Devils just before the international break have given the north London club a great start to this new season, along with gaining a point in a 2-2 draw at home with Fulham.

Goals have continued to flow as well where Arsenal have been concerned as four of Arsenal's last five league matches have resulted in Over 2.5 goals while the bigger picture shows seven of The Gunners' last 10 league matches have also produced three goals or more.

Arsenal have lost just three of their previous 17 outings on the road in the Premier League and this sort of form should see the visitors over the line here on Sunday afternoon.

Everton v Arsenal Verdict

Arsenal have won three out of the previous four meetings against Everton and having made a productive start to this new season as well, The Gunners look the more likely to take the three points here while goals are also high on the menu in what could be another comprehensive win for the visitors.

Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 1.66

Other side bets worth considering:

Arsenal win & Over 2.5 goals @ 2.20

Correct score: Arsenal 3-1 @ 13.00
