Match Overview
Title Race Heads to the Wire
Arsenal have taken the Premier League title race to the final day of the season with their crucial 1-0 win at Old Trafford last weekend. They are now determined to do everything in their power to bring the title back to London when they host Everton on Sunday.
To secure the title, Mikel Arteta’s side need a victory against Everton and hope Manchester City drop points against West Ham. While they can’t control City’s result, the Gunners are expected to secure maximum points at the Emirates.
Arsenal’s Recent Dominance
Arsenal have won their last five league matches, keeping three clean sheets and scoring 14 goals in the process. They have the best defensive record in the league this season, conceding just 28 goals and keeping a clean sheet in nearly half their fixtures.
Toffees’ Timid Attack – Arsenal win to nil EVENS
Everton have managed to steer clear of relegation with a decent run of form, but their attacking record remains poor. Only Sheffield United have scored fewer goals than Sean Dyche’s side, and they may struggle to challenge Arsenal’s defence on the final day.
Everton have scored just 17 goals away from home this season and are winless in their last ten top-flight away matches. With Arsenal in desperate need of a win and showing strong defensive form, backing the hosts to win to nil is a sensible option.
Trossard to Give Gunners a Chance
A thrashing seems unlikely, though. Arsenal have averaged 2.6 goals per game over their last five matches, and Everton have conceded more than twice in only one of their last ten games. A 2-0 correct score prediction looks solid.
Key Player: Leandro Trossard
Leandro Trossard has been crucial for Arsenal in the latter stages of the season. After scoring the winner at Old Trafford last weekend, he is now joint-second in Arsenal’s goalscoring charts. He has found the net in four of his last five outings and could be the difference maker again.
