Back Premier League: Arsenal vs Everton preview

Arsenal are looking to continue their good string of results when they face Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. The Gunners are currently second in the Premier League tables while the Toffees are ninth after failing to win any of their last two matches. Arsenal have won nine of the last sixteen Premier League matches against Everton, losing just one. Last season Olivier Giroud and Tomas Rosicky scored to secure a 2-0 win at the Emirates Stadium while the reverse fixture at Goodison Park ended 2-2.

Arsenal are looking like they would finally be able to mount a serious title challenge this season. They started the campaign with a surprising 2-0 defeat to West Ham United but then dropped just four points out of a possible 24 available with a goalless draw against Liverpool and a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea. They have won six of their last nine league matches, including the last three against Leicester City, Manchester United and Watford. Their home record is outstanding lately, they have beaten Manchester United 3-0 and this week they secured a surprising 2-0 win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Aaron Ramsey got injured in that match though and will probably be out for a month. Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck, David Ospina and Tomas Rosicky are still injured.

Everton were defeated 3-0 at home by Manchester United last weekend and have managed just three victories out of nine Premier League matches this season. They have been defeated just two times though, by Manchester United and Manchester City, while having faced many of the league's top clubs like Southampton, Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool. Tom Cleverley could make his return from injury for Everton, along with Steven Pienaar and Bryan Oviedo. Leighton Baines is still unavailable but should recover soon from an ankle injury.

Probable line-ups:

Arsenal: Cech - Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal - Coquelin, Arteta - Cazorla, Ozil, Sanchez - Giroud

Everton: Howard - Coleman, Jagielka, Stones, Galloway - McCarthy, Barry - Lennon, Barkley, Naismith - Lukaku

Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:

Arsenal win - 1.44 Draw - 4.75 Everton win - 8.00
