Arsenal hosts Everton in round 33 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Friday, April 23rd at Emirates Stadium (London)
Arsenal takes 9th place in the standings (46 points after 32 rounds). The Gunners have chalked up 13 victories, seven draws, and 12 defeats. And they are close to finishing this Premier League draw outside the European Cup zone. The metropolitan team is nine points behind the Champions League zone six rounds before the finish of the championship. And the gap to the top six is seven points. The only real hope of making it into the main European Cup is a victory in the Europa League, where the Gunners will fight with Villarreal for reaching the final. Let’s recall that this Spanish club is headed by an ex-coach of Arsenal Unai Emery. Last Sunday Arsenal lost points in the home match against league underdog Fulham (1-1). The Gunners were very close to defeat, but Eduard Nketia's goal in the 97th minute brought them a draw. Taking into account the matches in the Europa League, Arsenal has not won four games in a row at home (two draws and two defeats).

Everton is in 8th place in the Premier League standings (49 points after 31 matches). Carlo Ancelotti’ club has chalked up 14 victories, seven draws, and ten losses. The results of the Toffees began to worsen in the decisive period of the season. They have not known the taste of victories in six consecutive matches. During this unsuccessful streak, Everton left the FA Cup after a defeat to Manchester City (0-2) and lost ground in the struggle for places in European Cups. The Toffees are three points behind the Champions League zone in terms of points lost, but any misfire in the coming rounds is likely to minimize Everton's chances of finishing in the top four. Last Friday, Everton gained their third draw in a row, sharing points with Tottenham at home (2-2). Gylfi Sigurdsson (one from the penalty spot) and Harry Kane scored doubles.
Arsenal's chances of winning the upcoming match do not seem obvious. The Gunners have lost several important players because of injuries and have not won at Emirates for a long time. And Everton, despite a long streak of failures, is in the top four in terms of away matches (nine victories and three draws in 15 matches). Personnel losses will not prevent the teams from holding a spectacular match. The bet on "Both teams to score - yes" took place in the last two head-to-head matches, as well as in five out of seven previous games of the Gunners in the Premier League. Arsenal cannot boast of strong defense. The Londoners have conceded at least one goal in 15 of 17 previous matches. The same can be said about Everton, which did not concede only from Brighton (0-0) if we look at the last six games. I think that the teams will be able to upset each other’s goalkeepers.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
