S.P.Read Esq: Arsenal v Everton

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the Premier League 5.30pm kick off on Saturday between ARSENAL v EVERTON and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

Arsenal will no doubt be still on a high heading into their tea-time Premier League clash with Everton after their superb 2-0 defeat of Bayern Munich midweek in the Champions League with late goals from Giroud and Ozil.

Arsenal are on a run of three consecutive wins in the Premier League – scoring 11 goals in the process and with a win tonight (with the Manchester derby tomorrow) will see the Gunners go top of the table.

Arsenal’s manager Arsene Wenger said: “Overall we are in a good run and that can help the level of confidence and belief going into the next game. You gain credibility through consistency and when people think this could be a game where we could slip a bit and you respond in a positive way. It shows that our consistency is questioned by many people which is not based on mathematics and statistics, but more on preconceived ideas and it is down to us to change people’s minds. The longer we last (at the top), the more people will give us credit for it.”

Everton are on a tough run of fixtures. Liverpool, Man U and Arsenal in successive games. They drew 1-1 in the Merseyside derby and were then brushed aside 3-0 (2-0 HT) by Man U at Goodison. The stats look ominous for the Toffees too. They are winless in their last 21 league and cup games away to Arsenal.

Arsenal’s midfielder Aaron Ramsey is out for at least three weeks after injuring his hamstring against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

David Ospina and Mikel Arteta are also sidelined with respective shoulder and ankle injuries whilst Jack Wilshere, Tomas Rosicky and Danny Welbeck remain out with long term injuries.

Everton have less injury worries and will assess the fitness of Tom Cleverley who made his comeback from an ankle problem by playing for their development side.
