Arsenal's Coronation Tour Rolls Through Goodison

Très Divertissant Score Futmetrix: 73/100. Everton's relegation scrap collides with Arsenal's title charge—a mismatch dressed as a six-pointer for the home side.

The Setup

Everton sit 14th, clinging to survival by their fingernails with 18 points from 13 games. The Stakes couldn't be higher for Sean Dyche's men—every point is oxygen. Yet they face Arsenal, who've barely put a foot wrong this season. The Gunners lead the league with 29 points and a goal difference that screams dominance: +18. This isn't a battle for supremacy; it's a David-versus-Goliath mismatch where David is already limping.

Key Battle

Eberechi Eze versus Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall—Arsenal's creative fulcrum against Everton's only bright spark. Eze has four goals in five matches and controls the tempo from deep; Dewsbury-Hall offers industry and directness but lacks the craft to unlock Arsenal's defence. Whoever dictates possession dictates the match.

Our Prediction

Arsenal win 3-1. The Gunners' Stars—William Saliba's imperious defending, Declan Rice's midfield control—suffocate Everton early. Leandro Trossard exploits the space down the left. Everton grab a late consolation through sheer desperation, but Arsenal's quality proves insurmountable. The visitors cruise to another three points in their relentless march toward the title.
