Arsenal vs Everton Prediction
Arsenal are fifth in the league, two points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur with only one game left. The loss to Newcastle United was a punch in the guts for the club and fans, who were dreaming of a return to the Champions League next season. It now looks extremely likely that Tottenham Hotspur will clinch the fourth position.
However, Arsenal have a lot to be positive about. The performances of young attackers like Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith Rowe, Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli has often been the difference between an Arsenal win and an Arsenal loss; while centre-back Ben White, who cost Arsenal nearly £53 million last summer, has asserted himself well in the Gunners' defence.
Everton, on the other hand, were joyous after beating Crystal Palace recently. That win secured Premier League safety, and now Everton have some big decisions to make. Star forwards Richarlison and Dominic Calvert-Lewin are attracting interest from clubs across Europe.
Everton have not shied away from spending money, but only a handful of their recent signings have proved to be worth the spend.
Arsenal have to win this game to stand a chance of finishing 4th; both teams will be coming to this game on the back of emotional recent games. Arsenal to edge past Everton.
