Gunners odds on to down Toffees

Arsenal are a  top priced 1.57 with Betfred and Paddy Power to enhance their excellent record against Everton at the Emirates this weekend, and another three points looks on the cards if the stats are anything to go by.

 

The Gunners have won six and lost none of the last eight Premier League games against the Toffees and have taken 19 points from their last seven games.

 

That’s the same number of points that they took from the previous 18 games, and clearly shows what terrific form they have been since their poor start to the season which now seems just a distant memory.

 

Arsene Wenger has turned things round in dramatic style and took the decision to rest virtually all of his first choice eleven for the midweek Champions League trip to Olympiakos.

 

That has to a a wise move given that the Gunners had already qualified and the last thing they wanted was injuries to key players which could hamper their challenge for a top four finish.

 

It means that the gaffer able to field his first choice team for this, and you have to think that they will comfortably prove to strong for a struggling Everton side.

 

Having said that it would be no surprise to see the visitors net a goal as they have have scored 11 goals in the last 11 meetings between the two sides. They have failed to score just once, but have only netted more than one goal on one occasion.

 

That makes the 1.83 on offer with bet365 and Betfred about both sides scoring and attractive betting proposition for odds-on players.

 

It also throws up a couple of possible outcomes in the correct score markets, and I am going to suggest split stakes on a 2-1 Arsenal victory at 8 with bet365 and a 3-1 win at 12 with Boylesports and Paddy Power.

 

As far as who will net the first, well their are no prizes for guessing that Robin van Persie tops the bookmakers lists at around the 4.33 mark and at that price there is no reason to desert the Dutchman.

 

However I would also suggest having a small saver on Alex Oxlade Chamberlain at the 10 on offer with Betfred and Paddy Power as he is as short as 5.5 in a place.
