Everton vs Arsenal: Best EPL Best for Sept. 17

After starting the campaign with three successive defeats, Sean Dyche’s side finally got their first point on the board away to Sheffield United just before the international break. The much-needed arrival of a striker has given the Toffees a focal point up front, and Dyche will be hoping new boy Norberto Beto can inspire his side to climb up the table. But they face a tough task on their return after the break, with Arsenal looking to build on last season’s second-placed finish after a summer of heavy investment.

Beto is priced at +300 to score, a great value bet for Everton vs Arsenal player props. Dominic Calvert-Lewin faces a race against the clock to be fit for Sunday’s clash, while Seamus Coleman and Dele Alli remain on the sidelines with injuries.

Arsenal Looking Stronger With Every Match

The Gunners have amassed 10 points from 12 so far and signed off on a high before the break as two late goals secured a 3-1 win over Manchester United. Declan Rice has boosted their midfield while Gabriel Jesus returned from injury up front to grab the clincher in that Emirates win over the Red Devils.

It looks like Mikel Arteta’s side could mount another title challenge this term, but they are still throwing in the odd below-par performance, with Fulham coming from behind to claim a 2-2 draw with 10 men last month.

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has hit the ground running in the new season, with three goals in seven games for club and country, and he is one of the Premier League best prop bets for this clash.

Few other clubs have troubled Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta quite like Everton. His personal win-draw rate of under 45% against Everton in all competitions is his second-worst against any single club, but we expect Arsenal to show up and win their first game away at Everton since 2017.

All Thomas Partey, Jurrien Timber, and Mohamed Elneny are out of contention with injuries, while Albert Sambi Lokonga is a major doubt. There was a brief scare when Gabriel Magalhaes came off for Brazil, but the defender looks to have avoided injury.

Arsenal Has Poor Record at Goodison

Arsenal finished the previous Premier League season as the best traveler in the league but has failed to win here since 2017. Everton’s 1-0 win at home to Arsenal last season was their only victory of 2022-23 against the big six clubs. Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard has also scored in three of his last four meetings with Everton.

Sean Dyche became one of the record-breaking four English top-flight managers to lose their first three games of the season.

Everton vs Arsenal Soccer Picks of the Day

The Gunners enter this clash as favorites, priced at -195 on the three-way moneyline according to the latest Premier League odds, while the goal line is set at three.

As one of six sides to win at least three of their first four domestic matches, there’s certainly no room for complacency if Arsenal wants to go one better than last season. The Gunners are yet to fully click into gear, but we expect them to return home with the three points.

Arsenal escaped the international break unscathed on the injury front and should be able to use their best starting lineup. There’s no value backing an away win, so for better odds, we will combine the moneyline with the goals market.
