Arsenal vs Everton: Premier League Gameweek 30 Preview — Kick-Off 12:30 PM ET at Emirates Stadium
Arsenal host Everton at Emirates Stadium in a pivotal Premier League Gameweek 30 clash on Saturday, March 14, 2026. Kick-off is at 5:30 PM GMT — 12:30 PM ET. The league leaders need to right some wrongs after being served a dose of their own corner medicine in Wednesday's 1-1 Champions League draw at Bayer Leverkusen. A win today sends Arsenal ten points clear at the Premier League summit.
Arsenal vs Everton: What Is at Stake
Arsenal know that victory here will send them 10 points clear at the top of the Premier League, albeit maybe only for a couple of hours.
A critical three games beckon for Mikel Arteta's quadruple-chasing outfit before the March international break — Everton today, Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League second leg Tuesday, then the Carabao Cup final next weekend.
Everton sit eighth in the table, only five points behind Chelsea in fifth, and harbor genuine ambitions of returning to European football for the first time since 2017-18.
Arsenal Predicted Lineup vs Everton
Arsenal predicted XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Rice, Zubimendi; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli; Gyökeres.
Martin Ødegaard is still absent with a knee injury and is unlikely to return until after the international break. Leandro Trossard is a doubt after picking up a knock at Mansfield last week. Kai Havertz scored a penalty in midweek against his former club Leverkusen and could start in the No. 10 role.
Everton Predicted Lineup vs Arsenal
Everton predicted XI: Pickford; O'Brien, Tarkowski, Branthwaite, Mykolenko; Gueye, Garner; Ndiaye, Dewsbury-Hall, McNeil; Barry.
Jack Grealish is done for the season after breaking his foot, while Charly Alcaraz and Seamus Coleman are both injury doubts. Iliman Ndiaye has come to the fore in Grealish's absence alongside Dwight McNeil, who enjoyed a resurgence on the opposite flank after almost leaving in January.
Everton's Remarkable Away Form: Unbeaten in Six
Everton are on a six-match unbeaten run away from home. They have collected 24 points away from home this season — only Arsenal and Chelsea have a better away record in the Premier League. David Moyes' men arrive having had nearly 10 days of rest since their 2-0 win over Burnley.
Everton have excelled away from home and currently have the fourth-best away form in the Premier League. David Moyes confirmed there are no fresh injury concerns heading into the fixture.
Arsenal's Key Weapon: Set Pieces — And Everton's Response
No Premier League team can match Arsenal's 24 dead-ball goals this season. However, Everton have let in just eight from penalties, corners, or free kicks — the fewest of any side in the English top flight. It is a direct collision between Arsenal's most potent attacking weapon and Everton's most disciplined defensive strength.
Head-to-Head and Prediction
Everton have won just one of their last 29 away league games against Arsenal, picking up a 1-0 win in April 2021. David Moyes has won just one of his 20 Premier League away matches against the Gunners.
Arsenal are showing no signs of slowing down in their quadruple hunt, but Everton have recorded big away wins against Manchester United and Aston Villa this season. Under 2.5 goals have featured in Arsenal's last three meetings with Everton in all competitions — expect another tight, low-scoring affair. Arsenal are the 1/3 favorites, with Everton at 8/1 and the draw at 10/3.
The match is live on Sky Sports in the UK and Peacock in the United States.
