Everton are in a serious crisis, coach Benítez's squad last won at the end of September against a weak Norwich, now dangerously close to the relegation places themselves. The former Liverpool coach is showing that his best years are behind him, unable to do anything with the team. Out of the picture for a long time is Calvert-Lewin, the team's representative and striker, and this appears to be quite a crucial absence. Another elite striker, Brazilian Richarlison, has also been missing in recent weeks and is back, but it may take time before he gets into form. In any case, Everton's defence has ceased to function, with only a quick transition to the offensive working up front, and the midfield lacking any interplay. A small hope for the Toffees is at least the fact that they can play against Arsenal, having lost only once in their last five meetings with the London side, and that was at the Emirates Stadium.
The visitors have one less day to prepare because of Thursday's game in Manchester, where they lost (2:3). Arsenal are not doing well in away games, especially in the finishing. Five goals scored in seven games is not much. In any case, this is a very important match for Arsenal's coach Arteta, he has worked at Everton in the past, so there will be no shortage of motivation. He will bring the desire to win to his wards, who will improve their focus this time.
Goodison Park will see an evenly matched game that could end in a draw at half time or at the end of the game.
Prediction:
1st half result or match result - Draw @ 1.78
