Crisis club Everton face unbeaten Arsenal in a vital Premier League encounter on Sunday. The Toffees have just one point from their opening four games, whilst the Gunners visit Goodison Park off the back of a superb 3-1 victory over Manchester United.
It looks set to be an intriguing contest, and you can land a nice betting bonus on the game by taking advantage of our exclusive tip. So read on to find out our expert’s verdict on this Sunday’s clash.
It’s been a tough start to the season for Sean Dyche and his Everton team. They’ve picked up just one point from four games and have scored just two goals in the process. Worryingly for Dyche, the team’s poor form extends back to last season and they have won just 2 of their last 15 Premier League games.
A quiet transfer window has done little to raise fans’ morale. The majority of the current team were part of the squad that only just avoided relegation last season, and the Goodison faithful are fearing another season of struggle.
After a 2022/23 season that exceeded expectations, many experts were predicting a regression from Arsenal this term. However, the Gunners have picked up where they left off and last week’s 3-1 win over Manchester United leaves them just two points off the top.
New signing Declan Rice has hit the ground running, and the return from injury of Gabriel Jesus has given them more of a cutting edge up front. Another away win on Sunday, and fans will start to think the Gunners can mount another title challenge this season.
Everton have won four of the last five games between the sides at Goodison Park. Remarkably, both teams have been in the top flight together since 1951. Overall, they have met on 221 occasions, with Arsenal holding a 110-65 advantage.

Most Betting apps have Arsenal as short priced favourites for the game. They can be backed at just 8/15 to claim three points. Everton are big outsiders at 23/4, whilst the draw is available at 15/4.
Despite their terrible form, Everton have actually played reasonably well in the majority of their games. With a better strikeforce, they could have picked up a couple of wins, and their defence has looked reasonably solid at home.
Arsenal’s form has been significantly better, however, they were lacklustre in the draw with Fulham and slightly lucky to beat United. As such, we can see the Toffees getting something from the game. Perhaps they don’t have enough to bag all three points, but we like the look of the draw at 15/4.
