Premier League: Everton vs. Arsenal Picks — Gunners Title Challenge to End on Merseyside? (Apr 5)

Arsenal’s dreams of winning the Premier League title already appear slim at this stage of the season, but they can only keep winning to maintain pressure on Liverpool at the summit.

The Gunners travel to Goodison Park for the final time in the early kick-off on Saturday, as Mikel Arteta’s side bid to build momentum ahead of their Champions League showdown with Real Madrid.

David Moyes has transformed Everton’s campaign since returning to the club, and a home win over the Gunners could put them within touching distance of a top-half finish.

Gunners Unbeaten in Four Against Everton

However, the Gunners dropped points in the previous clash between the teams this season, as a 0-0 draw was played out in December. Everton have won three of their last four home matches against the Gunners.

Everton vs. Arsenal Key Stats
