Everton vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting Tips (20 December)

Eager to maintain a quiet performance this season, Everton is doing very well so far. Indeed, the Liverpool club is currently 9th in the Premier League and is 2 points behind the last European seat. Confidently, the Toffees have only lost 2 of their last 7 league matches, for 4 wins and 1 draw. After winning at Bournemouth 0-1 and against Nottingham Forest 3-0, they suffered a setback last weekend. Everton lost to Chelsea 2-0. Arsenal maintains the hope of being crowned champion of England for the first time since 2004.

The London team is now at the top of the Premier League but its lead has faded in recent weeks. Indeed, Mikel Arteta's gang is only 2 steps ahead of Manchester City and 3 ahead of Aston Villa. Over the last six days, the Gunners have dropped points three times: 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. Beaten on the lawn of Aston Villa 2-1, they then won with difficulty against the red lantern Wolverhampton last weekend 2-1. Author of a flawless record in the Champions League with 6 victories, Arsenal are at the top of the standings. 

In terms of recent news, Everton’s appeal against their points deduction has been a major headline, with fans anxiously awaiting the outcome as it could significantly impact their survival hopes. Arsenal have also made headlines with their Champions League progress, advancing to the knockout stages after a convincing 6-0 win over Lens in late November. Both clubs have had to balance domestic and European commitments, and fatigue could play a role in this fixture. Everton’s midfield, led by Abdoulaye Doucouré, has been instrumental in their recent performances, while Arsenal’s midfield trio of Declan Rice, Martin Ødegaard, and Kai Havertz has provided balance and creativity. The clash between these two midfields will be pivotal in determining the rhythm of the game.

With Everton fighting to climb away from the relegation zone and Arsenal pushing to keep pace with league leaders, this match carries weight for both sides. Everton’s defensive resilience at Goodison Park and Arsenal’s occasional struggles to break down compact teams suggest a cagey affair could unfold. While Arsenal will dominate possession, Everton’s disciplined shape and counter-attacking threat may frustrate them. Given the recent form and the tactical approaches of both managers, a stalemate seems plausible. Therefore, the prediction leans towards a 0:0 correct score, reflecting the likelihood of a tight, hard-fought contest where neither side manages to find the breakthrough.
