We got EPL action today. And don’t forget some FA Cup action, too. The main event is Arsenal v. Everton. Arsenal is the lone leader at the top with a game in hand. Man City is 2 pts back but played 25 matches instead of 24 by Arsenal. So an Arsenal win will widen the gap.
Everything points to Arsenal (-315) to easily win. Where Arsenal is at the top, Everton is at the bottom in the relegation “danger zone”. But it was basically Everton that started Arsenal’s shaking period in which they’re looking like they will survive it. Arsenal is at home so “home sweet home “, right? They probably and shouldn’t lose, but with the recent track record and Everton trying to avoid the danger zone, I’ll take them at +1.5 (-115).
Arsenal vs Everton +1.5 (-115)
Flashscore: Arsenal’s recent wobble looks behind them after Saturday’s 1-0 win at Leicester handed them successive Premier League (PL) victories. Their charge towards a first title in 19 years looked to be faltering after dropping seven points from a possible nine at the beginning of February, however, this weekend’s resolute display, which gave Arsenal their first clean sheet in six league outings, has handed them a platform to extend the gap at the top to five points with a win.
It was Everton who started the Gunners’ mini-rot with a 1-0 win in the reverse fixture just three weeks ago, but Mikel Arteta’s men should be confident of getting their revenge as they often put the Merseyside team to the sword on their own patch - Arsenal have lost just one of the last 26 home PL meetings (W21, D4), and have also lost just once at home this PL campaign (W8, D2).
