Arsenal:

The Gunners are grappling with a few injuries, including Gabriel Magalhaes (hamstring) and Jurrien Timber (knee), both of whom are sidelined for the rest of the season. Ben White was also ruled out before the recent win over Fulham due to a niggle. With Gabriel's absence, Jakub Kiwior is likely to start in defense. Arsenal’s injury list also includes Riccardo Calafiori, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Gabriel Jesus, and Kai Havertz, but Bukayo Saka, fresh from his return in midweek, is now in contention for his first start of 2025.

Everton:

For Everton, James Tarkowski should be available despite a controversial tackle on Alexis Mac Allister in midweek, although Orel Mangala, Dominic Calvert-Lewin, and Dwight McNeil remain out. Iliman Ndiaye has returned to fitness and could feature in the starting XI after his cameo against Liverpool. Moyes may opt for stability, keeping a similar lineup to recent weeks.

Everton 1-1 Arsenal

While Everton has struggled in recent matches, they will sense an opportunity against an Arsenal side dealing with several key injuries, especially in defense. With Arteta’s men possibly distracted by their upcoming Champions League fixture against Real Madrid, we expect the Toffees to snatch a valuable point in front of their home crowd. A 1-1 draw seems likely, with both teams sharing the spoils.
