The Matchday 31 fixtures of the Premier League 2024-25 take us to the Goodison Park Stadium as Everton and Arsenal lock horns in a thrilling clash.

Everton are currently 15th in the Premier League points table and a win in their next game could see them level on points with 13th-placed Manchester United.

Their recent form have been a mix of resilience and struggle, as they suffered a defeat to Liverpool but secured back-to-back draws against Manchester United, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Brentford, and West Ham United. As they prepare to face Arsenal in their next match, Everton will be eager to bounce back from their narrow defeat and regain momentum.

Arsenal are currently positioned second in the Premier League points table, but closing the gap with table-toppers Liverpool would require more than just a strong run of form. They will be eager to maintain their momentum when they face Everton in their next match.

Arsenal have been one of the best defensive teams in the competition, conceding the fewest goals so far this season. It will be interesting to see if they can continue their impressive performances and secure another crucial victory against Everton.
