Arsenal take on the visitors Everton in the round 38 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, April 19th at Emirates Stadium (London).
Arsenal made a breakthrough in 2022/2023 when, quite unexpectedly after years of stagnation, they climbed to second place in the Premier League. To maintain their position, Arteta bought several new players last summer, including the expensive but very useful Havertz and (especially!) Rice. This investment is paying off with current results. Their return to the Champions League brought a good, though not triumphant, result – the English team reached the quarterfinals, where they lost by one goal to the experienced Bayern. Around the same time, they also suffered a defeat to Aston Villa. The slip-up against Emery's team remained their only one, but Manchester City seized the opportunity, taking the lead and holding onto it despite a series of wins by Zinchenko (who, however, lost his starting status) and company. They managed a narrow victory over Manchester United. However, the Citizens also avoided slip-ups and remain the sole leaders.

Everton had a confident season. The Toffees sharply declined after Carlo Ancelotti left. Twice, in 2022 and 2023, they escaped relegation to the Championship in the final rounds. This season, the team had points deducted twice – they were the first to be penalized for financial fair play violations. Fortunately, they have Sean Dyche now, who found ways to maximize their potential. He helped motivate his players for a final push in this decisive season. Even after a blow like the 0-6 loss to Chelsea, they managed to not just avoid a knockout – they won four times, including a victory over Liverpool in the Merseyside derby, along with a draw against Luton. As a result, Dyche was named manager of the month in April, and the club decided to withdraw their appeal – it became clear early that there was no risk of relegation.
The Blues had a decent record against the London giants. But the last two head-to-head matches ended with victories for the Gunners. Zinchenko and company have very slim chances for a trophy. But they need to succeed regardless, hoping for a competitor’s slip-up in a parallel match. We bet on the home team with a -2.0 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win with -2.0 handicap.
