Everton vs Arsenal Predictions

• Everton are unbeaten in five Premier League home games.
• The Toffees have only lost three times since David Moyes’ return.
• Arsenal have failed to win three of their last five away games.

Resurgent Toffees may bounce back from derby defeat

Everton narrowly lost their midweek trip to Anfield, but they look good value to bounce back against an Arsenal side that may be distracted heading to Goodison Park.

The Toffees can have no shame in their performance at runaway league leaders Liverpool, and that was just their third defeat since David Moyes’ return to the club in January.

None of these defeats have come in home Premier League fixtures, which includes a 3-2 win over Tottenham and draws against Liverpool and Manchester United, so this hosting of second-placed Arsenal is far from a foregone conclusion.

Gunners may falter with one eye on midweek clash

Mikel Arteta’s side enjoyed midweek success over Fulham, but the 12-point gulf between themselves and Liverpool means the Premier League title race is all but over, and they may have one eye on their crucial first-leg Champions League meeting with Real Madrid.

Their 7-1 demolition of PSV aside, Arsenal have struggled on the road recently, too. That thrashing was one of just two wins in their last five competitive away games, and the other required a late Mikel Merino brace against 19th-placed Leicester.

Everton have drawn their last three at home and three of their last four overall have ended 1-1. With Arsenal drawing their last away game 1-1 against Manchester United, backing Everton in the double chance market alongside a 1-1 correct score prediction appeals.
