Arsenal are in good form, despite drawing 1-1 with Fulham last week. Since FIFA Days in November 2024, the Gunners are unbeaten in six games, including a run of four consecutive wins.
A comfortable 3-0 win over Monaco in the Champions League in midweek has further boosted their confidence, and playing at the Emirates will further boost Arsenal.
Arsenal have won 81% of their Premier League home games in 2024 (W13 D2 L1), their best home win percentage since 2007 (84%, with 16 wins from 19 home games).
Arsenal created 1.97 expected goals from open play against Monaco. Arteta's side are also formidable from set pieces.
Arsenal have scored more goals from corners than any other team since the start of last season (23). In their last three games, including a 2-0 win over Man United, Arsenal have scored from set pieces.
However, Everton are also very good at dead ball situations, as 8/14 of their Premier League goals this season have been scored from set pieces (57%), the highest rate by a Premier League team since West Brom in 2014-15 (61%).
The Toffees are looking for a second successive win in the English top flight. They beat Wolves 4-0 in round 13, while the derby with Liverpool in round 14 was postponed due to weather.
However, Sean Dyche's side have struggled away from home this season, failing to score in their last three Premier League away games, attempting 42 shots at an expected goals total of 3.26 without success.
Everton are the only team to have failed to score away from home since the start of November, while it has been two years since they failed to score in four consecutive games. Everton last won away from home against Ipswich in October 2024.

In team news, Riccardo Calafiori, Gabriel Magalhaes and Oleksandr Zinchenko were all absent from the midweek clash with Monaco and remain doubtful, while Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu are still recovering from injury.
For Everton, defender Michael Keane is likely to return from a knee injury, but James Garner and Tim Iroegbunam are expected to miss the Arsenal game.
