Arsenal are looking to continue their good string of results when they face Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. The Gunners are currently second in the Premier League tables while the Toffees are ninth after failing to win any of their last two matches. Arsenal have won nine of the last sixteen Premier League matches against Everton, losing just one. Last season Olivier Giroud and Tomas Rosicky scored to secure a 2-0 win at the Emirates Stadium while the reverse fixture at Goodison Park ended 2-2.
Arsenal are looking like they would finally be able to mount a serious title challenge this season. They started the campaign with a surprising 2-0 defeat to West Ham United but then dropped just four points out of a possible 24 available with a goalless draw against Liverpool and a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea. They have won six of their last nine league matches, including the last three against Leicester City, Manchester United and Watford. Their home record is outstanding lately, they have beaten Manchester United 3-0 and this week they secured a surprising 2-0 win over Bayern Munich in the Champions League. Aaron Ramsey got injured in that match though and will probably be out for a month. Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck, David Ospina and Tomas Rosicky are still injured.
Everton were defeated 3-0 at home by Manchester United last weekend and have managed just three victories out of nine Premier League matches this season. They have been defeated just two times though, by Manchester United and Manchester City, while having faced many of the league's top clubs like Southampton, Tottenham, Chelsea and Liverpool. Tom Cleverley could make his return from injury for Everton, along with Steven Pienaar and Bryan Oviedo. Leighton Baines is still unavailable but should recover soon from an ankle injury.
Probable line-ups:
Arsenal: Cech - Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal - Coquelin, Arteta - Cazorla, Ozil, Sanchez - Giroud
Everton: Howard - Coleman, Jagielka, Stones, Galloway - McCarthy, Barry - Lennon, Barkley, Naismith - Lukaku
Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:
Arsenal win - 1.44 Draw - 4.75 Everton win - 8.00

In this match Arsenal showed that win against Bayern Munich was not accident. Everton is good team,so this win is very important for Arsenal,to maintain their winning streak.The Gunners must be happy with the form of Ozil and Giroud,they are playing much better then 2 months ago.

Arsenal play a very attractive football and the Sanchez - Ozil duo is one of the best in the Premier League. I think Giroud is very happy for being in the (probable) starting XI and he wants to show he's not a bad striker. I'm almost sure he'll be the first goalscorer. Everton are a good team but they rae not on the same...

Everton are a good team but they rae not on the same level as the Gunners. Arsenal to win is a good choice in my opinion but the odds seems very short for me. My pick is Arsenal -1, -1,5 AH.

This match for Arsenal comes at the right time, after the victory over Bayern Munich. Arsenal players certainly have great confidence. I believe that this season they have a good chance to win the championship. I think this match will win Arsenal without problems and scored at least two goals.

This one really looks the easiest one for predicting from all the Johnny's reviews. Arsenal started to improve lately and playing like all their fans expecting really. Everton are just not good enough at the moment to be able to stop Arsenal progress. Will be surprising for me if Arsenal don't win that one with two or more...
