Arsenal will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they entertain Everton at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon.
The Gunners three-game winning run in the top-flight came grinding to halt when drawing 1-1 away at Fulham last Sunday, in a game that brought up another one of my player-based bets.
However, Mikel Arteta got the response he would have been looking for when Arsenal made light work of Monaco with a 3-0 win in the Champions League in midweek.
Knowing that they can ill-afford any further slip-ups if they are to keep their slim title hopes alive, Arsenal will look to get the better of Everton this weekend.
The Toffees' Merseyside derby with Liverpool last weekend was called off due to concerns over Storm Darragh.
Last time out, Sean Dyche’s side brilliantly dismantled relegation-threatened Wolves 4-0 at Goodison Park, a victory that has Everton sitting five points clear of the drop zone.
How the bookies view it: Arsenal to brush aside Blues
Unsurprisingly, Arsenal are overwhelming 1/5 favourites on Boylesports to bank all three points on Saturday afternoon.
Everton are a towering 12/1 on Boylesports to emerge from the Emirates victorious, while the draw is also deemed unlikely at 5/1 with the same firm.
Head to head: Toffees tend to come unstuck
Arsenal have enjoyed the upper hand in this fixture in recent years, claiming top honours from four of the previous five meetings between the pair in the Premier League.
Furthermore, the Gunners have come out on top in two of the last three tussles without conceding a goal – the same formula here can be backed at 4/5 on Boylesports.
Players to watch: Saka hot-streak to continue?
Bukayo Saka has hit a rich vein of form in recent weeks, most recently backing a brace against Monaco on Wednesday night. The Arsenal ace is 6/5 on Boylesports to make the net bulge against Everton Saturday afternoon.
Vitaliy Mykolenko could be handed the thankless task of trying to keep the aforementioned Saka quiet this weekend, making the Everton left-back an appealing option to commit a minimum of one foul at 8/11 (UniBet).
Predicted line-ups
Gabriel Magalhaes, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Riccardo Calafiori all missed out for Arsenal in midweek and the defensive trio could all struggle to be back in time for Saturday’ visit from Everton.
Blues boss Dyche will once again be unable to call upon the services of injured midfield duo James Garner and Tim Iroegbunam.
Arsenal: Raya; Partey, Saliba, Kiwior, Timber; Odegaard, Rice, Merino; Saka, Havertz, Trossard
Everton: Pickford; Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Mangala, Gueye; Ndiaye, Doucoure, McNeil; Calvert-Lewin
Anything else catch the eye?
With Arsenal too short to side with at the above-mentioned odds, I'll make use of the Boylesports Bet Builder tool by bundling up a home win alongside under 3.5 goals at 20/21.
This wager would have been the right one in five of Arsenal’s eight Premier League wins this season, as well as three of their four Champions League successes.
It’s also worth noting eight of Everton’s last 10 Premier League games have featured under 3.5 goals, including a 1-0 loss away at Southampton.
