I'm backing Arsenal to beat Everton 2-0 at the Emirates on 24 October 2026 at 17:00. The Gunners have won every home match this season and are averaging 2.50 goals per game at the Emirates, which is the kind of consistency I want to ride. Mikel Arteta's side scraped past Nottingham Forest with a Noni Madueke substitute goal, and I expect them to be sharper here against an Everton team that just shipped two at Chelsea without creating much of anything. Everton managed only six attempts and 0.43 xG in that loss, and while David Moyes has a full squad available, their attacking output is the real concern for me. Arsenal's home dominance is too strong to pass up.
Form and H2H
I've looked at Arsenal's last ten matches and they're 8-1-1 at home, scoring 1.80 goals per game and conceding just 0.90. That's the kind of defensive solidity I want to see when I'm backing a clean sheet. Everton are 4-5-1 away from home, averaging 1.40 goals for and 0.80 against, which tells me they're not a threat going forward. In my head-to-head review, I see Arsenal won 4-1 in 2014 and 1-0 in 2012, with draws and a 3-0 Everton win mixed in. The recent pattern favors the Gunners when they're at home, and I'm confident in that trend continuing here.
Best bet
I'm taking Arsenal to win at 1.43 on 1xBet. That's my main play because I trust the home form too much to ignore it. I'll also back Both Teams to Score No at 1.72, which pairs nicely with my 2-0 prediction. Everton's attacking struggles are real, and I don't see them breaking through Arsenal's defense. If I want to add a third angle, I'm looking at Over 2.5 goals at 1.83, since Arsenal's scoring rate at home is strong enough to get over that line even if Everton keeps it tight.
Odds to watch
I'm monitoring the Asian Handicap -0.75 for Arsenal at 1.42, which gives me a safety net if this ends 1-0. The Over 2.5 at 1.83 is my secondary bet because I expect Arsenal to find the net at least twice. I could also look at the home win on 1xBet at 1.43 as my core play, and if I'm feeling aggressive, the Both Teams to Score No at 1.72 locks in the clean sheet angle I'm chasing with this 2-0 scoreline.
