Arsenal return to Premier League action looking to extend their lead at the top of the table when they host Everton on Saturday.
‘The Gunners misfired in Germany’ isn’t a sentence from the 1940’s, rather a quick summary of the events in Arsenal’s midweek UEFA Champions League tie.
Manager Mikel Arteta’s side needed a dubious penalty and all of 90 minutes to draw 1-1 with Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday night; the first time this season that they have failed to win a Champions League game.
Arsenal are unbeaten since last January and will arrive back at the Emirates Stadium looking to win four consecutive Premier League matches for the first time since the festive period.
They are seven points clear of Manchester City – albeit having played one more match – at the top of the Premier League, as they prepare to face an Everton side who are pushing for European football.
Manager David Moyes has the Toffees in the nosebleeding heights of eighth in the Premier League table, sitting just four points behind Chelsea, who are fifth.
Everton are looking to make it three consecutive Premier League wins, following back-to-back defeats to Bournemouth and Manchester United.
What are the best bets for Arsenal vs Everton?
Arsenal to win, Viktor Gyokeres to score
This won’t be an easy match for Arsenal, with Moyes’ sides notorious for being difficult to play against and hard to beat.
That being said, I do expect that Arsenal should have too much quality for them on this occasion, especially with the Premier League title race heating up.
Viktor Gyokeres has netted 10 Premier League goals in his debut season, so I’m backing him to find the net and for his side to win the match.
Under 2.5 goals
Under 2.5 goals is something that I am keen to play in this match, as Arsenal’s victories have been based on efficiency and not annihilation.
The Gunners have scored fewer than three goals in seven of their last 10 competitive matches.
