On Sunday, at 14:05, Everton receives Arsenal’s visit to “Goodison Park” in the 33rd round of the Premier League. The hosts of Marco Silva are in good shape and have missed a goal in four of the last five games, but the “guns” come to attack with the thought of qualifying in the next edition of the UEFA Champions League. The show seems guaranteed over the weekend.
There will not be an easy match for Arsenal, who has worked hard to get on the “Emirates” tour with 2-0. The host team played very well and missed the huge opportunity to score 0-0, then in the second half, after the goals of Lacazette (56) and Aubameyang (59). The result was per-total liar, because Everton made a very good possession and press, but the difference was made by the individual achievements of the hosts. In fact, Arsenal has a very good balance in the games with Everton, managing 8 wins in the previous 9 duels! In the past two years we have witnessed successes with 5-2 and 5-1 for Londoners, and the offensive character of Unai Emery promises again a game with many goals.
Arsenal comes after Newcastle (2-0), Rennes (3-0) and Manchester United (2-0) wins the confidence of the “guns” in their own strengths. Everton has only one defeat in the last five rounds (2-3 with Newcastle), and the rest has been highlighted by a no-goal match against West Ham United (2-0), Chelsea (2-0), Liverpool (0- 0) and Cardiff (3-0). Finally, Marco Silva seems to be using the good quality bundle, and the “caramel” building has progressed a lot in recent months. There are two brutish bands with dangerous strikers, but who have weaknesses when attacked in the flanks of the field. That supports bets on the corners, which we will try to take advantage of Sunday afternoon.
Arsenal ranks fourth in the Premier League (65-39 Golaveraj) and is in full battle with Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United for a seat in the upcoming UCL edition. Everton is on the 10th place (45-42) and still hopes to get the 7th place, which was the goal of the Goodison Park leadership at the beginning of the season. Arsenal has only one home defeat this season and has won 5 of the last 6 stages, but Everton has lost only half of the moves and shows an impressive form lately! The hosts are missing only Mina and Jagielka, while Unai Emery does not have Holding, Bellerin, Torreira and Welbeck, and Xhaka, Kosicielny and Ramsey are unhappy because of injuries.

Everton (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Coleman, Zouma, Keane, Digne; Andre Gomes, Guey; Richarlison, Sigurdsson, Bernard; Calvert-Lewin
