Arsenal will welcome relegation-threatening Everton to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday as they continue their chase for the Premier League title. Here are predictions, team news, betting tips, and possible line-ups for the game.

The Gunners head into the game brimming with confidence, with two goals from Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz sealing an impressive 3-0 victory over Monaco in the UEFA Champions League.

However, before their UCL game against Monaco, the Gunners failed to get the necessary three points against Fulham, with the result further affecting their chances of closing the game on the league table.

Meanwhile, Everton, who have struggled to hit the ground running this season, had their game against Liverpool last weekend postponed due to weather conditions and will head into the game looking energised.
