Rafael Benitez's team is in 14th place in the Premier League standings with 15 points. Everton chalked up four victories, three draws, and seven defeats in 14 rounds. The Toffees have been stagnating for several weeks. Benitez's men gained their last victory on September 25. A streak without victories lasts eight rounds, in which only two points were scored. On December 1, the Blues disappointed their fans with a limp home defeat to their bitter rival in the Merseyside derby. The game ended with a landslide victory for Liverpool (1-4). Demarai Gray's goal did not save Everton from the third defeat in the last six rounds.

Mikel Arteta's team is in 5th place in the standings with 23 points after 14 matches. Arsenal gained seven victories and two draws and suffered five losses. The Gunners have not experienced problems with lower-class teams in recent rounds, but they proved to be powerless in confrontations against more competitive opponents. This was demonstrated by an away defeat to Liverpool (4-0) and a loss to Manchester United at Old Trafford (3-2). In the match against the Mancunians on December 2, the Gunners scored two goals through the efforts of Emile Smith Rowe and Martin Odegaard but failed to gain even a draw. Thus, Arsenal suffered two away defeats in a row in the championship.
Everton has had good statistics of matches against Arsenal in recent years. In five games in the Premier League, the Blues gained three wins and one draw and suffered one defeat. Beyond that, the Toffees have not lost to the Gunners in three home matches in a row. In the last championship, the team from Liverpool scored six points in two confrontations with the Londoners. Everton won at home on December 19 last year (2-1), and on 23 April, the Blues achieved an away success (0-1). Now Everton is in crisis, and this negatively affects the career prospects of Rafael Benitez. To avoid dismissal, the Spaniard must score points in the match against the Gunners. Arsenal is not yet able to compete with the top clubs of the Premier League, but Arteta's players have already demonstrated their ability to deal with weaker opponents in the current season. Everton players, who conceded at least one goal in seven out of eight previous rounds, have no arguments against the more stable Gunners.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win
