Arsenal – Everton 08.12.2013

This match is probably the most interesting in this round of the Premier league.

The leaders in the league Arsenal will host fourth placed Everton. The Toffees are unbeaten for seven matches in a row, while Arsenal have only one defeat at Emirates. The Gunners have the best defence in the league with 10 conceded goals, while Everton are second the best. Everything of that indicates for interesting match.

Arsenal will stay on first position no matter of result in this match. They have four points more than Chelsea. Their efficiency is an average two goals per match and in that trend ended their last three consecutive wins. Arsenal also didn’t concede a single goal which proved their best defense record in the league.

The midfielder Mathieu Flamini and the defender Bacary Sagna are struggling with injuries and remain doubtful for this match. The long term absentees strikers Lukas Podolski and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are still sidelined.

 

 

Everton won away against Manchester United in the last round with Bryan Oviedo late goal. They were convincing against Stoke City and shared the points with Liverpool. The striker Romelu Lukaku is the best scorer in the team with 8 goals included three in the mention matches. The manager Roberto Martínez will be missing the defender Leighton Baines, the striker Arouna Kone and the midfielder Darron Gibson.

Everton are without victory at Emirates since 1996. I believe they can’t win on this match, but Everton players are full of confidence after the victory at Old Trafford. I expect both team to score on this match.
