Everton vs Arsenal Prediction: Toffees to put Gunners in a sticky situation

Everton will look to profit from Arsenal's recent struggles on their travels in the Premier League when they meet at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday (20:00 GMT, Sky Sports Main Event). The Gunners are without a win in their last three away days in the top flight.

My Everton vs Arsenal predictions can be found below, which include the latest match odds on offer from Betfred and team news.

Team News

Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gana Gueye are absent for Everton as they are participating at the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco for Senegal.

Jarrad Branthwaite, Seamus Coleman, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Jack Grealish (all hamstring) are all doubts for this contest, while Merlin Rohl is ruled out with a hernia.

Dewsbury-Hall was forced off early in last weekend's defeat at Chelsea.

Premier League Odds

Arsenal are expected to be without the services of Kai Havertz (knee), Gabriel Magalhaes (thigh), Cristhian Mosquera (ankle) and Ben White (hamstring) due to injury.

Everton vs Arsenal Odds

Everton have won four of their last six league matches and they are 5/1 to stun Arsenal.

Two of Arsenal's las three away games in the top flight have seen them share the spoils, with a draw marketed at 11/4 (implied probability of 26.7%). The Gunners are 8/13 to come away with the three points, which they have managed four times on the road in this campaign.

Arsenal's Bukayo Saka has four Premier League goals this season and he is 7/4 to strike anytime on Saturday.

Both Teams To Score - Yes @ 11/10

Recent weeks have shown just how important Gabriel is to Arsenal in the heart of defence. Without him, William Saliba doesn't thrive so much and neither does the rest of the Arsenal team.

Mikel Arteta will be hoping that it isn't too long until the Brazilian centre-back can return to action but it looks like it won't be this weekend. It also doesn't help that fellow defenders Mosquera and White are injured, which leaves the Gunners with limited options defensively.

In Gabriel's absence, Arsenal have managed just one clean sheet in their last five league fixtures, with BTTS - Yes striking in the other four. I think there is value to be had here on Saturday, particularly as it has been a winning selection in each of Arsenal's previous three away trips in the top flight.

They also conceded at home to bottom-of-the-table Wolves last weekend, highlighting their current vulnerability at the back.

Anytime Goalscorer - Leandro Trossard @ 21/10

Minutes after coming on at Villa Park a couple of weeks ago, Leandro Trossard found the back of the net to bring Arsenal level against Aston Villa. Much has been made of how the Belgian slots into the attack better than Gabriel Martinelli and how he is more effective in the final third.

Trossard has had his doubters of late but he is very good at what he does and his four goals in the league is the joint-best for Arsenal alongside Saka and Eberechi Eze.

He has had his own injury issues recently but Trossard is expected to play a part on Merseyside and I think he can deliver another strong away performance by coming up with another goal.
