Everton return to Premier League action this weekend as they face league leaders Arsenal.
Everton defeated Burnley last time out, which followed a 3-2 away victory against Newcastle United.
So, David Moyes’ side are in good form at the moment, but they face their hardest test of the season on Saturday evening.
Get your guesses in! Bonus points for those who remember the score too 👀
Arsenal are gunning for the Premier League title, so it’s a must-win game for Mikel Arteta’s men.
Ahead of the Emirates Stadium clash, Opta’s supercomputer has predicted what the outcome will be.
Supercomputer makes Arsenal heavy favourites to beat Everton
According to the supercomputer, Everton have been given a staggering 10.4% chance of winning this weekend.
That seems pretty harsh considering the Toffees have one of the best away records in the division, only behind Arsenal and Chelsea.
Moyes’ side are actually joint-third in the Premier League away table, as seen below.
| # | Team | Games | Points |
| 1 | Arsenal | 16 | 32 |
| 2 | Chelsea | 15 | 25 |
| 3 | Manchester City | 14 | 24 |
| 4 | Everton | 14 | 24 |
| 5 | Crystal Palace | 15 | 23 |
| 6 | Aston Villa | 14 | 22 |
The North Londoners are heavy favourites, with the software giving them a 74.4% chance of victory, with a draw at 15.2%.
The reverse fixture at the Hill Dickinson Stadium saw Arsenal win narrowly, with Viktor Gyokeres netting the only goal of the game.
Everton have strengthened since then, with the return of Jarrad Branthwaite and, of course, their AFCON winners Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gana Gueye.
Moyes’ current deal expires next year… 🤔
So, it should be another competitive game, and the Toffees know a win would lift them above Brentford and into the European spots.
The Bees, who reside a point above them, don’t play until Monday night, when they take on a revitalised Wolves side.
