Arsenal host Everton as form and recent history favour the hosts
Arsenal welcome Everton to the Emirates Stadium on 24 October for a Premier League matchday 8 fixture, with the hosts arriving in considerably stronger form. Arsenal have won four of their last five league matches, losing only once, while Everton's recent run has yielded two wins, two draws and a defeat across the same number of games.
Recent meetings favour Arsenal
The last five encounters between the two sides have been one-sided in Arsenal's favour. The most recent, in March 2026, ended 2-0 to Arsenal, following a 1-0 win at Goodison Park in December 2025. Everton's best results in that sequence have been draws, including a 1-1 in April 2025 and a goalless draw in December 2024, with Arsenal's other victory coming in May 2024.
That record of three wins and two draws for Arsenal, without a single defeat, adds context to a meeting where the home side also go in with the better current form.
What's at stake
For Arsenal, victory would extend a sequence that has brought four wins from five, keeping up momentum as the season moves past its early stages. Everton, meanwhile, will look to arrest any inconsistency and take something from a fixture that has not been kind to them in recent years.
With both sides having played nine matchdays, the result at the Emirates could carry early significance for how each side's season shapes up from here.
