Everton vs Arsenal Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Premier League 2025-26

The last two clashes between these clubs have ended on level terms.

Everton will now take on Arsenal for their matchweek 17 fixture of the 2025-26 English Premier League. Hill Dickinson Stadium is going to witness this intense contest between these clubs.

The Merseyside club will be the host for their upcoming league contest. They are coming into the game after facing a 0-2 defeat against Chelsea FC in their previous match. It was a poor performance by them and which might also cause issues for their momentum. Everton are placed ninth on the league table at the moment.

The Mikel Arteta-led Arsenal are at the top of the table and will be keen to extend their lead. They outplayed Wolverhampton Wanderers in their last Premier League game, but it turned out to be a close contest. The Gunners will be away from home and will be looking to come up with a strong performance if they want to secure three points.

Players to Watch

James Garner (Everton)

James Garner is going to be one of the main men for Everton in their upcoming fixture. He has put up some interesting performances which has been useful for his side. The 24-year-old can control the midfield well and is also good enough in the final third.

Even though he only has three goal involvements in 16 Premier League appearances this season, his presence on the field has been very important for the Toffees.

Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)

In 14 league matches of the ongoing campaign, Bukayo Saka has scored four goals and has an assist to his name. He is yet again ready to help his side on the attacking front. Bukayo Saka is going to lead the attack from the right and is going to be a constant threat to the opponent’s defence.
