Arsenal and Everton meet so often that this has become a fixture whose result tends to follow the same pattern. In the last five league meetings Arsenal have not lost at all, and they have won as many as four times. This time Everton arrive in a rather different state, because they are one of the teams conceding the fewest goals in the early part of the season. Arsenal are still the team with more possession (59.4% per game in the last 10 matches) and they shoot on target consistently at 5.2 per game, but their defence is not so tight that there are no gaps to exploit. Everton themselves shoot on target at a similar 5.2 per game even with less possession, and a defence that has conceded only 7 goals in 7 matches means they are not a team that will be blown away easily. If Everton defend as a compact block and do not open gaps for Arsenal to run into early, this game is likely to drag on and finish with a narrow margin. The point to watch is how quickly Arsenal can break down such a solid defence. If they do it slowly, the game will increasingly suit Everton.
