Arsenal host Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday aiming to continue their climb up the Premier League standings.
After a sticky start to the season victories over West Ham United, Cardiff City and Newcastle United have fired the Gunners up to 7th in the table.
The odds aren't in Everton's favour according to TonyBet, with the home side priced at 47/100 to pick up another three points this weekend. Marco Silva’s side can be backed at 6/1 to win the game, with the draw available at 19/5.
Arsenal will head into the game on the back of a Europa League match against Vorskla Poltava and manager Unai Emery will be hoping the quick turnaround doesn’t affect Sunday’s performance.
Midfielder Lucas Torreira could make his first start for the club after impressing off the bench over the past few weeks.
Everton star Richarlison has served his suspension and is set to return, but Phil Jagielka, Michael Keane and Andre Gomes all miss out. Yerry Mina is back in full training with the squad, while Seamus Coleman could return to the starting XI.
Arsenal are yet to keep a clean sheet under Emery, but there are reasons to believe they could put that right this weekend.
Torreira’s introduction as a substitute in recent games gave the Gunners a much more solid look and if he starts against Everton he can be expected to give the team far better balance.
With Arsenal unbeaten in 24 home matches against the Toffeesin all competitions (W20, D4), odds of 9/5 to win to nil appear a solid wager.
Further forward, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette have linked up to good effect since being paired together and both are worth a look in the first goalscorer market.
Aaron Ramsey could also be of interest to get on the scoresheet this weekend. He has scored six Premier League goals against Everton, more than he has against any other side in the competition. All six goals have come in his last four games against them, including a hat-trick in this fixture last season.
Everton boss Marco Silva will be eager to see an improved performance from his side following their dismal home defeat against West Ham last weekend.
Silva has failed to spark much improvement in the Toffees since taking over from Sam Allardyce and his side look set for another tough afternoon at the Emirates.
Arsenal did the double over Everton last term, winning 5-2 at Goodison Park and 5-1 back on home soil, and another comfortable victory is on the cards on Sunday.
