The Gunners are seven points ahead of Manchester City, albeit having played an additional game.
The Toffees are, perhaps surprisingly, on the edges of the European conversation, five points behind Chelsea and Liverpool, who are tied for 5th. That’s how the stretch run often goes in the Premier League — fine margins decided on tiring legs. Everton have been among the best teams in the PL away from home this season.
They are tied for third on away points won and tied for second on points-per-game. On the other hand, Arsenal have won 9 and drawn 2 of the last 11 against Everton at the Emirates, are unbeaten in six consecutive games against the Toffees, and have kept four clean sheets in those matches. On the other, other hand, despite scoring just three goals in the last seven against Arsenal, Everton have taken five points from those matches.
David Moyes’ side have the lowest percentage of possession away from home (39. 3%) of any team in the Premier League. When you spend so much of the match without the ball, you tend to concede a bunch of corner kicks and set pieces.
