[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Arsenal (27 wins, 5 draws, 5 loses) welcomes Everton (13-9-15) to Emirates Stadium Sunday. Kickoff in the final English Premier League weekend of the season is set for 11 a.m. ET. Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Arsenal vs. Everton odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal is still technically chasing a title, but the Gunners will need some help. They are 2 points behind Man City, who host West Ham Sunday. Arsenal has a league-best +61 goal differential and has allowed just 28 goals in 37 matches. It is led by F Bukayo Saka, who has netted 16 goals in 35 matches. The Gunners have won 5 straight games and are 14-2-2 at home this season.

Everton has staved off relegation. It sits 15th in the league and has a -10 goal differential. Everton is led by F Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has struggled this season, but still has tied for the team lead with 7 goals. Everton has won 4 of its last 5 games, including a 2-0 home victory over Liverpool.

Arsenal vs. Everton picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 3, Everton 0

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Everton has been on fire, but Arsenal has something to play for and has consistently been one of the best EPL teams this season.

Without another game, either in the Champions League or FA Cup after this one, Arsenal should have all its top talent available. Expect the Gunners to come out on top, but do not play them on the moneyline at -700.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (-120).

Arsenal has been scoring at will as of late, but the Gunners have gone north of 3 goals on their own in just 1 game since March 4. They have also held their opponent scoreless in 4 of their last 5. Everton has gone Under this total in 5 straight games and has 4 clean sheets of its own in that time.

Since a 6-0 loss to Chelsea on the road on April 15, Everton has allowed 1 goals and just 1 team to top 1.0 expected goals (Liverpool). The 1st matchup between these teams ended 1-0 with a combined 1.3 expected goals on Sept. 17, 2023.

Considering the recent trends for both teams and the defending strength that will take the pitch, back UNDER 3.5 (-120).

Everton vs. Arsenal odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Everton vs. Arsenal odds and lines, with EPL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

In English Premier League action on Saturday, Everton (3 wins, 11 losses, 6 draws) and Arsenal (16-1-2) at Goodison Park in Liverpool at 7:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Everton vs. Arsenal odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Everton heads into this home match with Sean Dyche as the manager, replacing Frank Lampard. The Toffees currently sit 19th out of 20 in the EPL table, posting just 15 out of a possible 60 points while posting a dismal minus-13 goal differential.

Arsenal sits atop the table with 50 points, which is 5 clear of second-place Manchester City with a game in hand. The Gunners are second overall with a plus-29 goal differential, too, and they’re tied with Newcastle with just 1 loss apiece.

Everton vs. Arsenal picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Everton 0

Moneyline (ML)

Arsenal (-250) will cost you 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s just too expensive. It’s a bit risky, too, as Arsenal hasn’t won at Goodison Park since the 2017-18 campaign.

Instead, look to ARSENAL -1.5 (+115) against the spread instead. Everton hasn’t won in each of the past 8 EPL matches. While The Toffees should show a little more heart with the new regime change, it will take time before we see any noticeable changes.

Over/Under (O/U)

UNDER 2.5 (+100) is a solid play at even-money, although there is some risk.

Everton has conceded at least 2 goals in 6 of its past 7 EPL matches, while Arsenal has found the back of the net at least twice in 5 of the past 6. But it is hard to envision Everton getting on the board, and Arsenal should meet a lot more resistance after the coaching change for the home side.

Everton vs. Manchester City odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Everton vs. Manchester City odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

Everton (6 wins, 13 losses, 4 draws) welcomes Manchester City (20-3-3) to Goodison Park for a 12:30 p.m. ET kickoff Saturday. Below, we preview the Everton vs. Manchester City odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

After a strong start to the season, Everton has lost 4 of its last 5 EPL matches and has slipped to 16th on the EPL table. In 23 games, it has allowed 40 goals and scored 28.

It has a better goal differential than both Brentford and Leeds United, both directly ahead of Everton on the table. Everton has already taken on league-leading Man City, losing 3-0 in Manchester Nov. 21, 2021.

For Man City, M Jack Grealish and F Gabriel Jesus are doubtful, per whoscored.com. City is coming off a loss to Tottenham, surprisingly City’s second loss of the season to the Harry Kane-led club.

Manchester City is 3-1-1 over its last 5 EPL contests. It has scored 63 goals in 26 games and allowed an EPL-low 17 goals.

Prediction

Manchester City 3, Everton 1

Money line (ML)

PASS.

Man City is coming off a 3-2 loss and has an ultra-talented roster. It should come out on top Saturday, but at -400, I wouldn’t bet on it. The draw (+520) and Everton (+1000) to win lines are not worth backing either.

However, I do like BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-101).

Despite Man City’s league-best offense, Everton will be suiting up its entire offensive force.

F Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who leads the team with 5 goals, is expected to start. M Richarlison, who has 4 goals and 3 assists on the season, is also expected to be a force in this match.

Man City has scored in every EPL match since Oct. 30. Everton, although not consistent, has scored in 3 of its last 5 matches and in 8 of its last 10.

With odds of BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE at –101, it’s a good bet on Everton, in theory, to put one in the net.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+130).

It’s a risk, but if there’s anything Man City can do a lot of, it is score. Man City’s last 2 games have both had at least 4 goals with final results of 3-2 and 4-0.

Everton is no stranger to giving up goals either, having allowed almost 2 goals per game (at 1.74). Against the second-best attack in the EPL, Everton should struggle to maintain City’s offense.

With a few stars of its own, Everton should be able to score at least 1 goal to help boost the total.

Chelsea vs. Everton odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Chelsea vs. Everton odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

On Thursday, Everton (5 wins, 8 losses, 3 draws) will travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea (11-2-3). Kickoff is scheduled for 2:45 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Chelsea vs. Everton odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

One of the top-three teams in the EPL, Chelsea is coming off a win against Leeds United. It was a 3-2 game, and given the talent difference, it should’ve been more like 4-1.

Chelsea is just 2-1-1 over their last four. Their strength is in their defense, having given up just 11 games all season, second only to Man City.

As for Everton, despite a strong start, they now sit 14th on the table. Defense has been their key weakness, giving up 28 goals in 16 games and scoring 20.

They’ve lost 4 of their last 5 – including two games to Liverpool and Man City in which they lost a combined 7-1. Chelsea will come in as heavy favorites at home.

Prediction

Chelsea 3, Everton 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line. While Chelsea has shown some flaws, betting on them to even draw at home isn’t a smart move.

However, I wouldn’t mind tossing out BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE at +135. Everton is averaging over a goal per game, and they do have a couple of elite attackers.

While many players for Everton will be out, Demarai Gray is expected to play, and he’s leading the team with five goals. His pace in the middle of the field should give their offense a fighting chance at scoring.

Also Chelsea has given up 11 in 16 games, so it’s certainly possible one slips by their defense. As for their attack, they average over two per game and are playing a weak Everton, they should be just fine there.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER ALTERNATE LINE 3.5 (+165) as the best bet in this game. Chelsea has gone over this total in its last two games, totaling 5 combined goals in each.

Add in a six-goal match in their Dec. 8 showing, and it’s clear their backline hasn’t been as steady as they’d hope.

With Gray still in the lineup, Everton should be able to put pressure on them. For Chelsea, with F Romelu Lukaku healthy and also Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic set to be available, their attack will be lethal as well.

N’Golo Kante, one of the best defensive midfielders in the world, will be doubtful, per whoscored.com. That should hamper an already weak Chelsea defense. For those reasons, betting on more goals seems like the smarter move.

Everton vs. Liverpool odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Wednesday’s Everton vs. Liverpool odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

On Wednesday afternoon, Liverpool (8 wins, 1 loss, 4 draws) travels to Goodison Park to take on Everton (4-6-3). Kickoff is scheduled for 3:15 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Everton vs. Liverpool odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Liverpool is coming into this match with the best attack in the EPL, and it’s not even close. The Reds have tallied 39 goals in 13 matches while the next closest, Chelsea, has netted just 31.

Liverpool is sitting in 3rd on the table with 28 points. The attacking prowess is led by F Mohamed Salah who paces the Premier League with 11 goals.

M Roberto Firmino will be sidelined for Liverpool Wednesday but that won’t be quite as important as the absence of Everton’s M Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

Calvert-Lewin is one of three Everton players with 3 goals, the most on the team. He’ll be one of many sidelined for the home side. Everton is sitting 14th on the table and has scored 16 goals on the season while allowing 20.

Prediction

Liverpool 3, Everton 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line.

Liverpool at -250 as an away side is a little too pricey for me, although it becomes playable if the line drops to -200.

A better play is BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-130). Liverpool’s defense is among the best in the league, but it’s given up an average of 1.25 goals per game over the Reds’ last 4 EPL matches.

F Demarai Gray, one of the other Everton players with 3 goals, did return to action against Brentford and could have a positive impact here.

Everton averages over a goal per game, so getting one at home wouldn’t be too unthinkable. It’s worth a wager at -130.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 3.5 (+135). While it seems outrageous to bet on over 3 goals, that’s about Liverpool’s average.

The Reds have scored 3 goals per game behind an elite attacking trio and they give up almost one per game. Their games have insanely topped 3 goals in eight straight Premier League matches and have topped 4 total goals in four of them.

The attacking prowess is real, and it forces other teams to up their pace. I’m certainly not betting against goals when Liverpool is on the pitch.

Everton vs. Tottenham odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Everton vs. Tottenham odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

Tottenham (5 wins, 5 losses, 0 draws) heads to Goodison Park to take on Everton (4-4-2) Sunday. The match is scheduled to kick off at 9 a.m. ET. Below, we preview the Everton vs. Tottenham odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

After starting the season with 3 wins in 4 matches, Everton has struggled to gain any traction, losing its last three after quality draw with Manchester United.

Everton is led by young F Dominic Calvert-Lewin and M Demarai Gray. Everton has 16 goals and has allowed 16 goals in 10 matches. It will be facing Tottenham, a club coming off a disappointing 3-0 loss to Man U last weekend.

With F Harry Kane, one of the most efficient forwards in the EPL having yet to hit his strike, Tottenham has also fallen after a start that included a 1-0 win over Man City.

Tottenham has 5 wins, yet has scored just 9 goals, allowing 16.

Prediction

Tottenham 2, Everton 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to TOTTENHAM (+125) as Everton will be without one of its best players in Calvert-Lewin, a 24-year-old English forward who has provided great strength up top.

Tottenham should be able to control the middle and push with pace. It is too talented not to. With F Son Heung-min also expected to play, the Hotspurs should be able to get on the board multiple times.

After following out of the top seven with its loss to Man U, Tottenham needs to bounce back on the road. Against a defense that has been slacking most of the season, Tottenham should be able to get multiple on the board.

Being Kane and Heung-Min and with Everton short Calvert-Lewin, Tottenham should find a way to win.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (+115) as the better side here. Both teams give up too many goals. Having each conceded 16 on the season, the Tottenham offense is clearly the one lacking, but the star power is there.

Its two stars combined for 40 last season as Tottenham finished averaging over 1.5 points per game. It is not quite at the same level despite having a relatively similar roster.

With Everton having depth and a more proven scoring attack that should be led by Gray and F Andros Townsend, who are tied with Calvert-Lewin with a team-high 3 goals.

It is down a key piece, but it should have enough talent to get on the board. Everton scored in four of its last five games.

Manchester United vs. Everton odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Manchester United vs. Everton odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

In a matchup of two EPL powerhouses, Everton (4 wins, 1 loss, 1 draw) travels to take on Manchester United (4-1-1) Saturday at Old Trafford with kickoff scheduled for 7:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview the Manchester United vs. Everton odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Following a thrilling midweek victory over La Liga’s Villareal in the Champions League, Manchester United will return to EPL action where it last lost to Aston Villa Sept. 25.

Man U has been led by F Cristiano Ronaldo since his midseason transfer.

Man U next takes on a sharp Everton side. It lost only to Aston Villa in EPL play but also does not have many premier victories, having done what many expected so far this season.

We’ll see if Everton’s dynamic young duo of M Demarai Gray and Dominic Calvert-Lewin can continue to flourish in their first real test of 2021.

PLAY: Our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Prediction

Manchester United 2, Everton 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line. After Man U lost to Aston Villa and almost drew a mid-tier La Liga side, I’d stay away from the -210 number.

If anything, put a small unit on the draw, but I’d look to BET for BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-110).

Everton seems to be the side more prone to not score, but has 12 goals through six EPL games. Everton was shut out 3-0 by Aston Villa, but the strength in attack is there, and Gray and Calvert-Lewin are both quick, attack-minded players.

With Ronaldo on one side and the duo on the other, I’d expect a goal from each club, and for that value, it’s a far better wager than anything on the actual money line.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the OVER 2.5 (-130) as both teams have powerful attacks.

Unsurprisingly, they’re also both at the top of the table because they’ve had competent defenses. However, Man U is tied for the second-most goals in the EPL, and Everton is tied for the fourth-most.

Its duo of young attackers and then Ronaldo on the other side with M Paul Pogba supporting him should be enough for multiple goals to end up in the back of the net.

Everton vs. Norwich City odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Everton vs. Norwich City odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

On an action-packed Saturday, Norwich City (0 wins, 5 losses, 0 draws) travels to take on Everton (3-1-1). The game will kick off at 10 a.m. ET at Goodison Park. Below, we preview the Everton vs. Norwich City odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Coming in without a win or draw on the season, Norwich City is in early trouble of relegation. It lost to Liverpool in the third round of the EFL Cup Tuesday and looked helpless only against Man City and Liverpool while losing by one to Arsenal and Leicester City.

As for Everton, it had an impressive start with its best victory being a 2-0 defeat of Brighton. Everton is coming off a painful 3-0 loss to Aston Villa.

Led by M Demarai Gray and F Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Everton enters the match as a heavy favorite.

PLAY: Our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Prediction

Everton 2, Norwich City 1

Money line (ML)

BET on EVERTON (-165) as, even at this price, there’s decent value. Everton has looked competent in all but one match.

Aside from the lost to Aston Villa, in which Everton committed an own goal, it has given up just 4 goals, while scoring 10 goals in the other four games. This is also, in part, about how poorly Norwich has looked, scoring just 2 goals and allowing 14 through five games.

That just can’t be overlooked when taking on a side with the sixth-most goals in the EPL through five weeks. It would be shocking if Everton didn’t come out on top. Although it’s not great, the value is still there to put a unit on Everton.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (-120) as the best value on the total. Either 2-1 or 3-0, Everton should get on the board and score at least 1 more than Norwich. Calvert-Lewin and Gray both have 3 goals on the season.

Each team has averaged more than 3 goals per game for themselves and their opponent. With that in mind, Over 2.5 is a good value.

In an action-packed EPL Saturday, Everton (3 wins, 0 losses, 1 draw) travel to take on Aston Villa (1-2-1). Kickoff is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET at Villa Park. Below, we preview the Aston Villa vs. Everton odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Everton has won three straight games, including a second-round win in the EFL Cup. Its only match this season that didn’t result in three points was a draw with Leeds United; its most impressive win was 2-0 at Brighton.

The loss of M Jack Grealish this season has created a void in the middle for Aston Villa. Villa is coming off being thrashed 3-0 by Chelsea, one of the best teams in the EPL, and is currently sitting 12th in the table.

Prediction

Everton 2, Aston Villa 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to EVERTON (+205) as the value is just too good for a top-five side to win. Everton has been handling business against bottom- and mid-tier opponents despite not being quite in the Chelsea-calibre tier.

Everton is no stranger to being on the road, either, as its best win on the season is at Brighton.

Everton’s attack is what has set them apart so far but they’re also one of nine teams that have not given up 4 total goals on the season.

I expect Everton to come out on top against a flawed Aston Villa side, and would certainly put half a unit on it at this value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (-102) as both sides have the attacking prowess that should help make this an entertaining match.

While Aston Villa isn’t a great attacking side on paper, it’s managed to score in every game except against Chelsea and scored at least 2 goals in two of its three other games.

Everton is strong defensively, but it has also allowed a goal per game and scored more than 2 goals per game. Everton has seen 14 total goals in its four games while Aston Villa has seen 12 goals in four games, both averaging a combined 3 or more total goals per game.

Aston Villa allowed 3 goals to Watford – the only 3 goals Watford has scored across four games. Villa also allowed 3 to Chelsea. Everton has a solid attack fronted by 25-year-old M Demarai Gray. Gray is tied for the club lead with 3 goals.

Everton’s elite attackers should be able to make something happen up top, and given their track record this season, Aston Villa should also find a way to get on the board.

Prediction

Brighton 2, Everton 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to BRIGHTON (+130) as the best bet on the money line. Twenty-five-year-old F Neal Maupay has led the charge, scoring in both outings, but it’s been more than just one solid forward.

Brighton had more possession and more shots on target than each of its first two opponents. At plus-money value, this is a solid play.

However, BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-110) is a bet I’d also take.

Everton and Brighton both scored at least 2 goals in the four games they’ve played. There’s no reason to think they’ll be completely shut down Saturday.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (+125) as the best bet on the table. As noted, both teams have been scoring well this season. Everton’s two matches both combined for 4 goals.

For Brighton, it has had a 2-goal game and a 3-goal game, combining both sides. While Brighton has shown competence defensively, Everton’s offense should be able to break it down.

Everton will be the best opponent Brighton has faced, so there’s no telling if the defense will hold up quite the same way it has through the first two games of the season.

I’d bet the two teams get ample opportunity to net a combined 3 goals.
