Our Arsenal – Everton betting tip is: Arsenal win (-1 handicap) – 1.53 odds

- The Gunners have the best defense in the league and have won four of their last five games
- Everton have already lost the first leg
The final matchday of the Premier League is also taking place on the island this weekend and fans are eagerly awaiting the final decisions. It has not been this close for years and the duel between Manchester City and Arsenal London for the English crown will only be decided in the long-distance duel on this final matchday.
The Londoners will host Everton FC and, in addition to their own three-pointer, will have to hope for a slip-up from the Citizens, who face West Ham United at the same time. The Gunners’ dress rehearsal on the last matchday was a success, as they narrowly defeated Man United 1:0.
For Everton FC, on the other hand, there is nothing left to play for. The Toffees were hit hard by the points deduction due to financial irregularities and even found themselves in the relegation battle at one point. However, thanks to good performances in recent weeks, they have secured their place in the league at an early stage and can play freely against Arsenal.

Arsenal Form & Balance Check
Arsenal are having an outstanding season and have more than earned the right to play for the championship on the final matchday. For a long time it looked like a three-way battle, but in recent weeks the Gunners and Man City have managed to overtake Liverpool.
Arsenal go into the encounter against Everton FC with a broad chest, having won five games in a row since their defeat to Aston Villa six weeks ago. Nevertheless, the Londoners will have to hope for some help, as they are two points behind the Sky Blues in second place in the table with 86 points. The starting position is therefore clear, as Arsenal need a win and a City defeat to snatch the championship in the end
Balanced offense
Arsenal’s offense this season features strong and lively strikers such as the German Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard, none of whom fit the classic striker profile. Nevertheless, the offense functions with a remarkable distribution of the load, as all three have scored twelve or more goals and had their runs at different times during the season.
This means that the team is not reliant on one central player and if one of them is in a bit of a slump for a few games, another will score the goals. Most recently it was Trossard who flourished. He scored the winning goal against Man United last week and also scored against Bournemouth the week before. That brings his tally to four goals from the last five games and he is in top form at just the right time
Arsenal facts & analysis
- Place two in the table
- Won last five games
- League’s fewest goals conceded
Everton Form & Balance Check
Everton FC can also go into this clash with confidence and no pressure. Relegation has been clinched early on and the Toffees are only concerned with maintaining 15th place in the table. In recent weeks, coach Sean Dyche’s team have shown stable performances and have won four and drawn one of their last five games.
Everton have already made their mark on the title race, as they defeated Liverpool FC during their run, among other things, and have thus denied the Reds a share of the championship. It remains to be seen whether they can also put a spanner in the works for Arsenal FC.
Management accepts points deduction
The eternal legal back and forth due to the points deduction against the Toffees has certainly not left the team unscathed. In recent weeks, two points were once again deducted in the current season, with the club appealing again. As a result of Everton securing relegation despite the deduction, the club has now announced that it is withdrawing the appeal, meaning that the hearing scheduled for later this month will no longer take place.
For both the club and the players, calm has finally returned, albeit perhaps a little too late. This means that the game against London can be approached in a completely relaxed manner and planning for the coming season can begin early
Everton facts & analysis
- 15th place in the table
- Last game won
- Only one defeat from the last eight games
Arsenal play in a classic 4-3-3 system. We don’t expect any changes to the starting line-up compared to the recent win against Man United. William Saliba and the Brazilian Gabriel will lead the defense, while Thomas Partey will distribute the ball in central midfield. The front three of Saka, Havertz and Trossard also remains unchanged. Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus are wildcard options from the bench.
Everton FC will play in a 4-4-1-1 system with Abdoulaye Doucoure, who has been strong of late, as a hanging midfielder behind striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin. We don’t expect any changes from the last game against Sheffield Wednesday. Chermiti and André Gomes are available as options from the bench.
