TEAMS PREVIEW

Everton FC Preview

Everton’s nine-game unbeaten run ended in a hard-fought Merseyside derby at Anfield. They held their own in the first half, troubling Liverpool with sharp counter-attacks from Beto and Doucouré creating two big chances. However, Slot’s direct approach and long-ball tactics in the second-half eventually broke them down, leading to the game’s only goal. 

There's no rest for Everton as they now face second-placed Arsenal. However, they held the Gunners to a goalless draw last time out and have remained unbeaten at home since January’s loss to Fulham. Everton remain without Dominic Calvert-Lewin, while Dwight McNeil's fitness is still in doubt. However, the Merseyside derby saw key returns, including Iliman Ndiaye and Mykolenko. Ndiaye, who came off the bench, could be in line for a start this time.

Key Stats

1. Everton enter the game on the back of three consecutive draws at home.
2. Four of Everton’s last five games have ended in draws, with their last league win coming in February against Crystal Palace.
3. With 13, Everton has recorded the most number of draws for a side in the league this season.
4. Iliman Ndiaye is Everton’s top scorer with six goals. 

Everton Probable XI - Pickford (GK) ; O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko, Alcaraz, Gueye, Garner, Doucoure, Ndiaye; Beto

Arsenal FC Preview

With just eight games left, Arsenal remain 12 points behind league leaders Liverpool, despite finally breaking their Fulham curse. But the Gunners got more than just three points—they got a statement win. Makeshift striker Mikel Merino found the net yet again, proving his worth, while the Emirates Stadium bbore witness to a moment Arsenal fans had been waiting for: the long-awaited return of Bukayo Saka. 

Out for three months, the young star wasted no time making his mark, capping off his comeback with a goal.  Arsenal’s title hopes may be fading, but with a massive quarterfinal clash against Real Madrid looming next week, these small victories could be building toward something bigger. Confidence is rising, momentum is building, and with Saka back in the mix, who knows?

Just as Saka’s return lifted Arsenal’s spirits, another setback struck—this time, center-back Gabriel Magalhães joined the growing injury list. With Timber, Gabriel, Calafiori, and White all sidelined in just over a week, Arsenal’s defensive depth is going to be tested in the next couple of games. 

Key Stats 

1. Arsenal has failed to win last to away matches with them ending in draws.
2. The Gunners are unbeaten in their last four Premier League matches.
3. They have conceded the least number of goals this season.
4. Arsenal scores 22% of their goals between 31-45.

Arsenal Probable XI - Raya (GK), Kiwior, Timber, Saliba, Partey, Odegaard, Merino, Rice, Lewis-Skelly, Saka & Martinelli

One major bookmaker has the Gunners at 1.73, while Everton sit at 5.60, with a draw at 3.55.
