Everton News and Form – Can Everton sink Arsenal?
In their last two games in the top flight, Everton have convincingly beaten Chelsea and were holding a good lead at Manchester United before having to settle for a draw. That’s a very positive four points from them and massively important as well as they are only the four points above the drop zone. But the change at the top seems to have freshened them up a lot, with Duncan Ferguson having rallied things as temporary manager.
The home form of Everton this season is W4 D1 L3 and their last game there saw them take a 3-1 win over Chelsea. Just 38% of games at Goodison Park this season have made it over 2.5 goals, with Everton both scoring and conceding 11 goals. They’ve banked a clean sheet in a quarter of their home fixtures. Everton have been winning at half time in four home games but have conceded 73% of home goals in the second period of games at Goodison Park. Home and away, Everton have no clean sheet in eight which should send punters towards the both teams to score option.

Arsenal News and Form – Can the Gunners roll up their sleeves against Everton?
Arsenal suffered a 3 -0 loss at home against Manchester City last weekend. They basically went down without a fight and shipped all the goals in the first half of the game. That defeat came directly after they had snapped a seven-match winless streak of league form with a success at West Ham. So it leaves them at W1 D4 L4 in their last nine Premier League matches. In terms of points, they are 7 away from the drop zone and 7 away from the top four. Out on the road this season Arsenal have taken only a W2 D3 L3 record and they appear to be badly lacking in confidence.
Arsenal have conceded at an average of 1.5 goals per road game this season with one away clean sheet netted. Two of the three losses that they have suffered on the road have been by a margin of at least two goals as well. The half time record of Arsenal on their travels makes for more miserable reading for them, as they have been losing at the break in 5 of 8 road games. The Gunners have conceded the opening goal in all but two of their away games in the top flight. Each of the three defeats that they have suffered on the road happened at clubs starting the weekend inside the top seven.

Everton vs Arsenal Predictions
Everton to win: Neither of these have had a good season, however, Everton have really perked up since Silva left. Arsenal are just going in the other direction and look to be sadly lacking in spirit and fight. Home win.
