Everton welcome the visitors Arsenal in the English Premiere League – Round 33. The match will be held on Sunday, April, 7th, at the Goodison Park (Liverpool).
Everton’s home calendar is impressive indeed – first they faced Manchester City, Liverpool, and Chelsea, now they host Arsenal. Nevertheless, the ‘Toffees’ looked very solid against the toppers that proves their good form at present. The team conceded to the ‘Citizens’, 0:2; the Merseyside derby featured no goals; and finally Everton managed to win the ‘Blues’. Basically, the side were lucky to play ‘to nil’ against the ‘Reds’ – they kept defending and created almost zero opportunities. By all means, Marco Silva is expected to demonstrate more confidence, as he does not repay the trust so far. That said, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Richarlison have been rapidly progressing – the manager will most likely rely on them at the end of the campaign. Everton currently sit 11th in the standings with a tally of 40 points attained in 31 rounds. The ‘Toffees’ will fight for the 7th line that provides for the Europa League. The European spot is also claimed by Wolverhampton Wanderers, West Ham United, Watford, and Leicester City. Going by these sides’ squad, the ‘Toffees’ and the ‘Hammers’ deserve the battle, whereas the other contenders surpass by the highly organized play.

Ahead of the season, Arsenal set a goal of winning the Premiere League. Later, they had to lower the expectations, as the gap between them and the City and Liverpool has greatly widened. At the same time, we admire the manager Unai Emery’s work – the specialist takes as much as he can from his men. The ‘Gunners’ are blistering in front of their fans – at the Emirates, they suffered only 1 loss. Whereas a month ago Arsenal competed with Chelsea and Manchester United for the 4th place, the failing Tottenham Hotspur’s latest results give the visitors a hope of the 3rd line either now – they run 1 point behind it. Emery makes no secret that the Premiere League is Arsenal’s priority, while the Europa League is not that much focused on. The specialist rotates his squad a lot for the key players to have rest. In the last 2 playoff fixtures, Arsenal conceded to BATE and Rennes away but celebrated hammerings in the reverse legs, as Emery used his heavyweights at home. The ‘Gunners’ reached the Europa League quarterfinals, now they face Napoli – the stronger side that practically secured their 2nd place in the Italian Serie A, so, now they many solely focus on the clash with Arsenal.
The opponents’ first-term encounter at the Emirates ended in Arsenal’s 2:0 victory. The ‘Gunners’ won thanks to Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s goals in the first 3 minutes. In earlier meetings, the ‘Toffees’ missed 5 goals to Arsenal. The record of the last 10 head-to-heads reads 7 wins by Arsenal and 2 wins by Everton; one match ended level. In the head-to-head concerned, Arsenal will play first, but Everton will not shutout as they did in the recent Liverpool derby. Thus, an effective encounter is expected.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals.
