Gunners To Dominate
Arsenal have taken ten points from a possible 12 this season, with a 2-2 draw with Fulham the only blot on their copybook.
A 3-1 victory over Manchester United last time out was a major boost as the Gunners look to keep pace with Manchester City, who have won all four of their Premier League games this season.
Mikel Arteta’s side should have too much for their hosts in this clash, with a number of key Everton players such as Dominic Calvert-Lewin, James Tarkowski and Michael Keane doubts for this one.
The Toffees picked up a crucial 1-0 win over Arsenal at Goodison Park last season but the chances of them repeating the trick this time around look slim.
Three of the last four meetings between these sides have seen Arsenal win by at least two goals and that looks the likeliest outcome once more thanks to Everton’s struggles and their injury issues.
Jesus to find the back of the net
Jesus To Find The Net
Gabriel Jesus has struggled for fitness throughout his Arsenal career but he finally looks to be approaching a full return from injury and can kick on for Mikel Arteta’s side once he is up to full speed.
The Brazilian came off the bench against Manchester United to net the final goal in his side’s 3-1 win over Manchester United and he will be hoping that is the catalyst for a strong season.
Jesus netted 11 league goals in just 24 starts last season and may well lead the line for the Gunners in this match.
The 26-year-old looks to have a solid chance of getting on the scoresheet against an Everton backline who have looked leaky.
Onana Could Fall Foul Of The Referee
Amadou Onana is a key part of Everton’s combative midfield and faces a tough task against Arsenal’s creative trio in the middle of the park.
Onana also has a tendency to fly into tackles and he picked up a total of nine yellow cards last season.
The Belgian has yet to be booked this season but he could be a busy man at Goodison and may attract the attention of the referee in this one.
The 22-year-old looks a solid pick to be shown a card.
