Arsenal hosts Everton this Wednesday, at 4:45 pm (Brasília time), in the Premier League. With a game in hand in the Premier League, the Gunners can extend their advantage over Manchester City at the top of the standings. Mikel Arteta’s side have a chance to extend their lead. With 57 points, Arsenal are only 2 points clear of Manchester City, in 2nd place in the table.
For this match, Gabriel Jesus and Mohamed Elneny (injured) remain out of the team.
On the other side, however, is Everton, responsible for one of the Gunners’ three defeats in the Premier League. The two teams faced each other on February 4, and the Toffees ended up winning by 1 x 0. In the standings, the Liverpool team is 18th, opening the relegation zone.
Coach Sean Dyche is without Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Andros Townsend and Nathan Patterson (injured).
Both teams fail to score
Everton have the worst attack in the Premier League, with just 17 goals scored in 24 games. Arsenal have the second best defense. The Toffees are unlikely to score a goal in Aaron Ramsdale’s goal.
Under 2.5 goals
Despite the imbalance, Everton don’t have such a bad defense. It is unlikely that Arsenal will win this duel with a rout. Under 2.5 goals is the best bet on this market.
