Arsenal vs Everton team news
Bukayo Saka came off early against Bayern Munich on Wednesday night with a quad issue. Mikel Arteta has indicated that the injury will continue to be assessed by specialists over the coming days, but the winger will miss this game.
Piero Hincapie is back in training after an ankle injury, while Christos Tzolis (hamstring) and William Saliba (back) are continuing their recoveries.
Moyes, meanwhile, has indicated that he has a few injury concerns of his own, potentially including Jarrad Branthwaite, following his heavy collision with Emiliano Martinez last weekend, which left the Chelsea goalkeeper with a broken jaw.
Former Gunner Christian Nørgaard recovered from a groin injury to make a belated debut against the Blues, but Moyes believes he is not quite match-fit yet.
Meanwhile, it remains to be seen whether another familiar face, Ainsley Maitland-Niles, will line up against Arsenal or whether Jake O’Brien will start at right-back.
Arsenal vs Everton predicted lineups
- Arsenal: Raya; White, Konsa, Gabriel, Calafiori; Lewis-Skelly, Rice; Madueke, Odegaard, Eze; Gyokeres.
- Everton: Pickford; O’Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Garner, Armstrong; Röhl, Dewsbury-Hall, Grealish; Barry.
Arsenal vs Everton head-to-head record

Across 227 meetings in English football history, the Gunners have recorded 114 victories compared to Everton’s 65, while 48 matches have ended in draws.
In fact, Arsenal’s 104 top-flight league wins over the Merseysiders stand as an all-time English football record for the most victories by one club against a single opponent.
Arsenal vs Everton prediction and betting tips
Arsenal are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League encounters against Everton, winning five of those matches.
Last season, Arteta’s side completed a league double over the Merseysiders, including a late 2-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium in March 2026, thanks to goals from Viktor Gyökeres and Max Dowman.
Everton’s struggles away from home in this fixture run deep, having won just once in their last 34 Premier League visits to Arsenal.
Based on the statistics, Arsenal’s home advantage should prove decisive, and the Gunners are tipped to win this clash and keep their title defence on course.
However, Everton should not be underestimated, as they have a capable squad that could cause an upset.
We expect goals in this encounter, but not too many.
