Arsenal vs Everton prediction for Friday’s Premier League round 33 clash at the Emirates Stadium in London. Arsenal at ninth position with 46 points take on Everton at eighth position with 49 points. Follow on for our free prediction and betting tips.
Arsenal desperately seeking a European spot
A last gasp goal to earn a draw against relegation-threatened Fulham in their last match didn’t raise the spirits at the Emirates. The Gunners are nine points away from the European spot and if they keep on losing points they might end up with their worst finish since the 1994/95 season.
After an amazing display at the Europa League quarter-final in Prague, Mikel Arteta’s team another proof of their inconsistency throughout this season with that disappointing draw. This could be a very important match as Arsenal are facing the sad truth of missing to play in Europe for the first time in 26 years.
The Gunners will miss their top scorer Alex Lacazette due to injury and already Aubameyang is missing through illness, Arteta will rely on young Brazilian Martinelli in the attack. Lacazette had scored four of their eight goals in their last three matches.
Everton looking for that final push
Everton feel they deserve more out of their season. Although Carlo Ancelotti’s team are now six points behind a European spot, they do deserve a better position on the table and will enter this game to prove that as the season comes to its final phase.
Everton were in the top five and even leading the table at one point but some loss of form and lapses in focus in some matches cost them to slip down the standings. Ancelotti will do his best in the remaining Premier League games to make up for their misfortunes.
Winless in their last five matches and unable to win in their last 14 H2H matches at the Emirates could hinder that push the Toffees are looking towards the fifth spot. Everton scored two goals in a match just once in seven matches and that was in their last match against Tottenham 2-2.
