After Wednesday’s Champions League draw in Leverkusen, Arsenal return to Premier League action for the last time for nearly a month, as they host Europe-chasing Everton at Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal will undoubtedly need to be at their best in order to beat an Everton side that holds the joint-third best away record in the division; they have not lost on the road since a 2-0 defeat to Chelsea last December, a run of six games.
The last meeting at the Emirates in December 2024 was a frustrating one for Arsenal, as they drew 0-0 despite not conceding a single shot on target, and only two shots altogether.
In fact, the Gunners have only won a single one of their last three games against David Moyes' side, a penalty from Viktor Gyokeres enough to secure a 1-0 win at the Hill Dickinson earlier on in the season.
Since the start of 2026, Arsenal have played seven away games in the Premier League; in comparison, their title rivals, Manchester City, have only played four.
Five of the final eight Premier League matches for Arsenal will be at the Emirates, including the next two against Everton and Bournemouth. It’s going to be key that they play with intent and pace in these remaining home games.
They also only leave London once more for league action, the heavyweight clash against City on April 19th.
After impressing in the week during his cameo against Leverkusen, Noni Madueke should definitely warrant a start from minute one this week. The interesting part will be to see whether that will be on the left or the right flank.
As impressive as Piero Hincapie has been, Riccardo Calafiori should definitely get a start on Saturday, just because of the fact that the build-up improves much more with him in the line-up, and it is going to need to be in order to break down Everton.
Kai Havertz should also get a start, having scored the equaliser in Germany, and Viktor Gyokeres has played a lot of minutes since the start of 2026.
