Arsenal vs Everton prediction in short: Arsenal host Everton at the Emirates on Saturday 24 October at 5:00pm EAT, and the Gunners start as clear favourites despite losing Bukayo Saka to injury. Everton arrive with a fully fit squad but have not beaten Arsenal in their last seven meetings. Our pick is an Arsenal win with under 3.5 goals.
Mikel Arteta’s side head into this one on the back of a hard-earned midweek draw in Munich and a narrow league win at the City Ground. David Moyes brings a well-drilled Everton team to north London looking to bounce back from their first league defeat of the season. Here is everything Kenyan punters need before kick-off.

Arsenal Form and Team News
Arsenal have been efficient rather than spectacular in recent weeks. Their last outing in the league was a 1-0 win away at Nottingham Forest, sealed late by Noni Madueke. You can read our full report on that Forest win here. Before that, they edged Leeds 2-1 at home, with the only blip in the last five league games a heavy 3-0 loss at Brighton.
The big blow is Bukayo Saka. The winger came off early in the Champions League draw with Bayern Munich and is reported to be facing a lengthy spell out with a thigh problem, with some reports in England suggesting six to eight weeks. William Saliba also remains sidelined, as does Christos Tzolis.
That means Arteta will lean heavily on Madueke and Eberechi Eze for creativity in wide areas, with Martin Odegaard pulling the strings and Viktor Gyokeres leading the line. Declan Rice remains the engine in midfield. Without Saliba, Gabriel will be the key figure at the back.
Arsenal at the Emirates
Home form has been a strength. Arsenal’s last two league games at the Emirates brought wins over Chelsea and Leeds, both by a 2-1 scoreline, and the crowd will expect another three points against a side they have dominated in recent years.
Everton Form and Team News
Everton had been tough to beat until last weekend, when Chelsea won 2-0 at their place to end their unbeaten league start. Before that, Moyes’ men drew 2-2 with Hull, beat Ipswich 1-0, drew 0-0 at Tottenham and shared a 2-2 draw with Manchester United. Plenty of draws, few defeats, and a side that rarely gets blown away.
On the injury front, Everton are in good shape. Christian Norgaard came through his debut against Chelsea without problems, and Vitaliy Mykolenko is fine after a knock. The one question mark is Jarrad Branthwaite, whose availability is unclear after Moyes declined to give an update. Jack Grealish and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall are expected to provide the attacking spark behind the striker, with Jordan Pickford in goal.
Head-to-Head Record
History favours the hosts. Everton’s last win over Arsenal came back in February 2023, a 1-0 victory at Goodison Park. Since then, Arsenal have gone seven meetings unbeaten against the Toffees. The most recent clash finished Arsenal 2-0 Everton at the Emirates in March 2026, a game remembered for teenager Max Dowman becoming the youngest scorer in Premier League history.
Arsenal vs Everton Prediction
This looks like a game Arsenal should control. They have the better squad even without Saka and Saliba, they have been strong at home, and Everton have a poor recent record in this fixture.
That said, Everton are organised and difficult to break down, and Arsenal have often won tight games this season rather than running away with them. The Gunners also played a demanding Champions League game in midweek, so a patient, controlled win looks more likely than a rout.
Our pick
- Main tip: Arsenal to win and under 3.5 goals
- Alternative: Arsenal to win to nil
- Correct score idea: Arsenal 2-0 Everton
