Arsenal’s momentum came to a halt last weekend as they were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw against Fulham. It was a missed opportunity for the Gunners to close the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool.
However, they quickly bounced back in midweek with a commanding 3-0 victory over Monaco in the Champions League, which should provide a timely confidence boost ahead of their encounter with Everton. Historically, Arsenal has enjoyed considerable success against the Merseyside club, with 102 top-flight victories—a record number of wins for one team against another in England’s elite division.
The Emirates Stadium has been a fortress for Arsenal this year, with the team winning each of their last three competitive home games without conceding a goal. Under Mikel Arteta, their home form has been exceptional, achieving an 81% win rate in Premier League matches at the Emirates in 2024. This impressive statistic marks their best home record in a calendar year since 2007. Arsenal’s dominance on their home turf has been a cornerstone of their push for domestic and European success this season.
Everton, meanwhile, arrive in London on the back of a longer-than-usual break. Their scheduled match against Liverpool last weekend was postponed due to adverse weather conditions, leaving their most recent outing as a resounding 4-0 victory over Wolves. That result was a significant morale booster for the Toffees, as it showcased their ability to turn on the style when needed. Over their last four league games, Everton have suffered just one defeat, demonstrating resilience and defensive organization.
The Toffees’ recent defensive performances have been a particular highlight, with three clean sheets in their last four league matches. However, their record at the Emirates is far less encouraging. In their previous 12 visits to Arsenal’s home ground across all competitions, Everton have managed just one victory—a narrow 1-0 win in April 2021. Their struggles in North London are underscored by a record that includes 10 defeats in that same period.
Arsenal’s Martin Ødegaard has been a standout performer since returning from injury in mid-November. The Norwegian playmaker has created more chances than any other Premier League player in that time, with 17 opportunities crafted for his teammates. His creativity and vision will be pivotal against Everton, as Arsenal look to break down a defensively disciplined opponent.
For Everton, Ashley Young’s contributions have been noteworthy. The veteran full-back reached a milestone by scoring his 50th Premier League goal in the emphatic win over Wolves. At 39 years and 148 days old, Young became the oldest player to achieve this feat, highlighting his enduring quality and experience. His last goal against Arsenal, however, dates back to August 2011, during Manchester United’s famous 8-2 victory over the Gunners.
One intriguing subplot to this game is Arsenal’s proficiency from set pieces. The Gunners are on the brink of becoming the first team since Liverpool in February 2022 to score from a corner in four consecutive Premier League matches. Their effectiveness in dead-ball situations has added an extra dimension to their attacking play and could prove decisive against Everton’s stubborn defense.
Both teams come into this clash with contrasting narratives. Arsenal will be eager to maintain their strong home form and continue their pursuit of Liverpool at the summit of the league table. Everton, on the other hand, will be looking to build on their recent resurgence and defy their poor record at the Emirates. With both sides boasting key players in fine form, this promises to be an engaging encounter full of tactical intrigue and individual brilliance.
Arsenal’s tactical fluidity and attacking depth make them favorites, but Everton’s defensive solidity and counter-attacking potential could provide a stern test. The history of this fixture heavily favors the Gunners, yet the unpredictability of the Premier League ensures that anything is possible. Fans on both sides will be eager to see how this contest unfolds, as the stakes continue to rise in the race for points and prestige.
