Arsenal host Everton at Emirates Stadium on Saturday, October 24 (10:00 AM ET / 9:00 AM CT / 7:00 AM PT).
Arsenal will be without the injured Saliba, Hincapie Reyna and Tzolis, while Zubimendi is a doubt with an ankle issue, as Everton visit the Emirates Stadium. Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz lead the home attack, with Saka already on 3 goals and 10 shots on target and Havertz adding 2 goals of his own, while Declan Rice and Riccardo Calafiori provide control from deeper positions. Everton have no fresh fitness concerns, with Thierno Barry leading their forward line on 3 goals from 25 shots, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has created 17 chances to go with 2 goals. James Tarkowski, a defender, has also scored once and remains a threat from set pieces.
This looks shaped for a tight, low-event contest rather than a shootout. Arsenal have built their position on controlled, narrow wins — 5 from 6 league games with a +5 goal difference — and that defensive discipline, even without Saliba marshalling it, should be enough to keep Everton’s limited attack at arm’s length. Everton’s 10 points from 7 games have come largely through stalemates, 4 draws alongside 2 wins and 1 loss, and that pattern of low-scoring afternoons is unlikely to break here. Expect goalmouth chances to be scarce, with the game likely to be decided by one moment of quality at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal vs Everton Prediction
Arsenal’s platform of 15 points from 6 games and a +5 goal difference should be enough to edge a tight contest at the Emirates. Everton, sitting on 10 points from 7 games, can trouble the hosts through Dewsbury-Hall and Barry but are unlikely to breach a well-drilled defence. Prediction: Arsenal 1-0 Everton.
