Arsenal vs Everton: Preview, Prediction & Lineups
- Arsenal face Everton at home in the Premier League on Saturday
- Gunners take on Toffees team that enjoyed weekend off due to Storm Darragh
- Mikel Arteta's side were victorious over Monaco in midweek
Arsenal's London Christmas continues on Saturday as they welcome Everton to the Emirates in the Premier League.
The Gunners' domestic momentum was halted by Fulham last weekend as they were denied a late Bukayo Saka winner by VAR, but they returned to winning ways in midweek by cruising past Monaco in their sixth Champions League outing of the season.
Arsenal are now third in the league phase table and well on their way to securing a spot in the round of 16.
They currently boast a similar standing in the Premier League, but they can usurp Chelsea in the table with a result on Saturday. Arsenal will also be hoping that the Cottagers can work some magic at Anfield when they take on league leaders Liverpool.
Everton were poised to face the Reds off the back of an impressive triumph over Wolves, but last Saturday's Merseyside Derby was postponed due to Strom Darragh.
Sean Dyche's side are 15th in the table and have a four-point buffer on the relegation zone having played a game less than their rivals.
Here's our preview of Arsenal vs Everton in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.

Arsenal vs Everton takes place at 3 pm on Saturday, thus falling under the blackout in the UK. Local viewers will not be able to watch the game on TV.
However, the match will be streamed via Peacock in the USA and the Fubo Sports Network in Canada.
Arsenal team news
Jurrien Timber and Thomas Partey were injury concerns heading into the Monaco victory, but both players played a part on Wednesday night and should be involved on Saturday. Timber is a sure bet to come into the XI, even if that means Myles Lewis-Skelly drops out.
We do not yet know whether Gabriel, Riccardo Calafiori, and Oleksandr Zinchenko will return from their injuries this weekend.
Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu miss out again.
Kai Havertz and Leandro Trossard are in contention to return to the XI.
Predicted Arsenal lineup vs Everton: Raya, Partey, Saliba, Kiwior, Timber; Rice, Merino, Odegaard; Saka, Havertz, Trossard.
Everton team news
Everton's extended break means the Toffees head into Saturday's bout fresh, but they're still set to be without injured trio Youssef Chermiti, James Garner and Tim Iroegbunam this weekend.
Michael Keane has a better chance of returning to Dyche's matchday squad, but a return to the starting XI is unlikely.
The visitors are poised to be unchanged from their most recent victory over Wolves.
Predicted Everton lineup vs Arsenal: Pickford; Young, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Mangala, Gueye; Ndiaye, Doucoure, McNeil; Calvert-Lewin.
Arsenal vs Everton score prediction
Arsenal may have to deploy a makeshift defence again on Saturday, but it's hard to envisage them being too busy on Saturday. Everton will surely opt for a direct gameplan predicated around Dominic Calvert-Lewin's aerial ability and winning the second ball.
The Toffees also boast the highest percentage of goals from set-pieces in the Premier League this season (42.86%) - Arsenal's 27.59% is fifth-highest, by the way - so limiting such situations will be key for the hosts.
Dyche's side are okay defensively and pretty good at dealing with set-pieces themselves, but they'll likely succumb to a barrage on Saturday. And while Arsenal's finishing has been sub-par in their most recent outings, you've got to back a comfortable home win this weekend.
Prediction: Arsenal 3-0 Everton
