Arsenal host Everton on Saturday, and the Arsenal vs Everton prediction starts with one question: can the visitors score against a side that has kept four clean sheets in its last eight? The game kicks off at 14:00 UTC (16:00 CEST) on 24 October 2026 at the Emirates Stadium. Arsenal drew 2-2 with Bayern in the Champions League on Wednesday. Because of that, they have a short turnaround, although the squad should still be comfortable at home.

Arsenal vs Everton Prediction: Full Analysis

Arsenal have won six of their last eight games in all competitions, drawn one and lost one. The defeat was a 3-0 loss to Brighton on 19 September. Since then they have beaten Leeds 2-1, Lille 3-0 and Nottingham Forest 1-0, and they held Bayern to a 2-2 draw on Wednesday. Their defence has kept four clean sheets in those eight games, and they scored in seven of them.

Everton are harder to read. They have lost only once in their last eight, but they have drawn four of them, including 2-2 against Hull and 2-2 against Manchester United. Last Saturday they lost 0-2 to Chelsea, and in the eight games they scored only 11 goals. On the plus side, they have also kept four clean sheets, so Everton know how to stay compact.

Team News

FotMob lists William Saliba (back) and Ben White (knee) as Arsenal's injured players and shows no doubtful names. Everton, on the other hand, have no unavailable players on the page. A predicted line-up was not available when we checked. For that reason, wait for the confirmed teams an hour before kick-off.

Form guide: Arsenal vs Everton

Where It Could Be Decided: Arsenal's Back Line vs Everton's Counter-Attacks

The key question is how Arsenal cope without two regular defenders. William Saliba and Ben White are both listed as injured, so the back four may look different from the one that shut out Lille. Everton, for their part, are unlikely to chase the ball. Instead, they will sit in a compact block and look for a quick break or a set piece. If Arsenal move the ball fast, they should still find space.

How the Game Should Unfold

Expect Arsenal to dominate possession and Everton to defend deep. The home crowd will push the team forward, but patience matters, because Everton have conceded in only four of their last eight. Then, once Arsenal score first, the game should open up. Therefore, a controlled home win looks likelier than a goal rush.

History Between the Clubs

FotMob does not show a head-to-head record for this fixture, and we would rather not quote numbers we cannot check. Instead, the better guide is current form, where Arsenal have won six of eight and Everton three of eight. That gap points one way, even if Everton are a stubborn opponent.

Best Bets

Arsenal to win is the main play, since they have won six of eight and Everton have only three wins in eight. As a value angle, under 3.5 goals fits both teams' profile: Everton's games have produced more than 2.5 goals only three times in eight. Still, we would avoid Arsenal to win to nil, because Everton have scored in six of their last eight games.

  • Main tip: Arsenal to win
  • Value tip: Under 3.5 goals
  • Bonus tip: Arsenal to win and under 3.5 goals
  • Predicted score: Arsenal 2-0 Everton

Final Pick

Pick: Arsenal to win
