Arsenal meets Everton at home in a mid-week round of the Premier League.
Arsenal hopes to continue their streak of 3 victories in a row in the past week in all competitions. The team won last week’s game against Wigan with 3:0 as well as both of their games for the Carling Cup, and FA Cup. The team is now a finalist in the Carling Cup and will face the team of Birmingham. In the FA Cup game Arsenal faced a bit of difficulties against Huddersfield, a game that ended 2:1, after a goal from a penalty in the 86th minute.
In the Premier League, Arsenal are currently second, with 46 points in 23 games, 5 points away from the current leader United, home record of W7 D1 L3, scoring 25 goals and conceding 11 in the mentioned games. The last loss of the team on Emirates was on November 20th 2010 against Tottenham, and since then the Gunners recorded 3 victories and a draw.
Everton is currently taking the 14th spot with 27 points in 23 games, away record of W2 D7 L3, scoring 13 and conceding 14 goals in those games. Since their last victory away from home against Manchester City with 1:2, Everton has recorded 2 draws and a loss.

Arsenal is appointed for the favorite in this game and I couldn’t agree more. The team has done quite well at home, although there was a period where they recorded two strange losses against Tottenham and Newcastle. The odds for a straight home win however, are a bit low, priced at 1.40. Looking at the statistics Arsenal has won 9 games out of 17 with 2 goals margin, making the Asian handicap of -1.5 my choice.
