Everton v Arsenal betting tips: Gunners could heap more misery on Benitez

Everton have struggled for goals since Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been missing with injury and the Toffees scored for the first time in four games on Wednesday evening.  

It is 2/5 for Everton to get on the scoresheet but 9/5 for them to draw a blank for the fourth time in five in Everton v Arsenal betting odds.  

An Arsenal win to nil can be found at 27/10, with it 4/5 for the Gunners to grab the first goal of the game.  

"Dominic Calvert-Lewin is getting better, he's doing really well, but he's still a couple of weeks [away], minimum. We have to be careful."

Everton v Arsenal head-to-head 

The hosts did the double over Arsenal last term and they ran out 2-1 winners when they clashed here at Goodison Park.  

A repeat of that scoreline is 11/1 in Everton v Arsenal betting tips, with over 2.5 goals chalked up at 19/20.  

The Gunners last won at Goodison back in 2017 courtesy of a 5-2 victory.

Alexandre Lacazette was on the scoresheet then and although another seven-goal thriller is unlikely, the Frenchman could find the net at 2/1. 

Everton v Arsenal key battles 

Arsenal youngster’s have repaid Arteta’s faith in recent months and no one has impressed more than Emile Smith-Rowe, whose fine season has seen him creep onto Gareth Southgate’s radar.  

Having bagged a first international goal for the Three Lions against San Marino in the international break, the 21-year-old hit his fifth of the season at Old Trafford on Thursday night.  

He is 6/1 to open the scoring once again here in Everton v Arsenal betting tips, with it 4/1 for him to score at any time in an Arsenal victory.  

Benitez would have been delighted to see Demarai Gray score his fourth of the season in the Merseyside Derby.

The summer bargain buy has been one of the few bright sparks of Everton’s campaign to date and he could be the man to cause the Gunners most problems.

It is 10/3 for him to score at any time while it is 3/1 for the former Leicester winger to have two or more shots on target.

For a speculative build-your-bet option, why not try Smith-Rowe and Gray to both have two or more shots and also both provide an assist at 75/1 in Everton v Arsenal betting tips.
