Their last five league encounters have produced two Arsenal wins and three draws. Arsenal won 2-0 at home on 14 March 2026 and 1-0 at Everton on 20 December 2025.

Current form

Arsenal are second in the table, three points behind Manchester City. Mikel Arteta’s side began the campaign with four consecutive victories before losing 3-0 at Brighton.

They responded with wins over Leeds, by 2-1, and Nottingham Forest, by 1-0. Arsenal then earned a notable 2-2 draw away to Bayern Munich in midweek.

Everton sit eighth, only three points behind the top four. The Toffees went six matches unbeaten, recording two wins and four draws, before losing their first game of the season at home to Chelsea last weekend. Chelsea won 2-0.

Arsenal are expected to remain favourites despite several significant absences from their starting XI. Everton’s defensive organisation and fully available squad could make the contest difficult for the hosts, although Arsenal’s squad depth and recent attacking efficiency may prove decisive.

The Africafoot prediction is Arsenal to win 2-0.

1xBet lists Arsenal at 1.36 to win, with the draw at 5.00 and an Everton victory at 8.00.
