Arsenal – Everton

Arsenal will host Everton in the 6th round of the Premier League.

After a difficult start to the season with losses against Manchester City and Chelsea, Arsenal have started to find some rhythm under Unai Emery. The Gunners are now on a 4 match winning streak in all competitions, the latest being a 4-2 victory over Vorskla Poltava in the Europa League on Thursday. However, it has to be said that the wins weren`t necessarily convincing. Arsenal conceded at least one goal in each of these 4 wins, and neither of them was a clear cut victory.

Everton is sitting on the 12th spot at the moment in the Premier League with 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss, and the team doesn`t look much different than in recent seasons. The Toffees are coming after an ugly 1-3 home loss to West Ham and Marco Silva knows that a loss at Emirates could put his managerial job under question.

Team news & lineups:

Koscielny, Maitland-Niles, Kolasinac, Mavropanos and Jenkinson are out for Arsenal, while Ramsey, Torreira and Mkhitaryan are doubtful. Everton will be without Keane, Mina, McCarthy, Jagielka, Coleman, Baningime and Gomes.

Arsenal: Cech – Bellerin, Mustafi, Sokratis, Monreal – Torreira, Xhaka – Ramsey, Ozil, Aubameyang – Lacazette

Everton: Pickford – Kenny, Holgate, Zouma, Digne – Schneiderlin, Gueye – Walcott, Sigurdsson, Richarlison – Tosun

Despite the winning streak, Arsenal`s defense remains a serious problem. The hosts have zero clean sheets this season, and conceded 11 goals in 6 matches, although most of the opponents were average at best.

Everton is in a very similar situation. The Toffees have zero clean sheets in 6 games in all competitions, conceding 10 goals in the process. They also scored in every game (11 goals).

Bottom line, both teams scored and conceded in each of their games this season, and usually more than once.

When you add Everton’s issues in defense, where they miss 4 important players (Keane, Jagielka, Coleman, Mina), this match looks like it could see a few goals.

Both teams to score is a bet which makes sense, so that will be my tip. Arsenal’s potent offense should find at least a couple of goals against a leaky and weakened Everton backline, but on the same note you can`t trust Arsenal to keep a clean sheet. Prediction: Arsenal – Everton 3-1.
