Stan Collymore predicts scoreline of Arsenal v Everton
Everton will travel to the Emirates on the final day of the season to face Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon (22 May).
The pressure is off the shoulders of the visiting team after they secured their Premier League status, and Stan Collymore has predicted a 1-1 draw for this game.
Arsenal have dropped to fifth in the table and they need a win to give themselves a chance of a top-four finish this season.
Collymore spoke to The Sunday People (22 May; page 54): “The spring has gone out of Arsenal’s step, and Everton will still be on a high.”
Strong end
Everton have a great opportunity to end the season on a high.
This has been a disastrous campaign for them, but they did manage to hold on to their league status after beating Crystal Palace in their previous game.
The home form has been brilliant for the Toffees, but they have gone through a wretched form away from Goodison Park this season.
However, with the players now can play freely, they should look to enjoy their game and get a positive result.
This match is absolutely crucial for the Gunners. They have to beat the Toffees and hope that Tottenham will drop points against Norwich City at Carrow Road.
For Everton, this game probably won’t make any difference, but it’s a good opportunity to climb above Southampton.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin was superb in the last game, and he will be looking to get a goal to his name once more.
Likewise, Richarlison was brilliant throughout the season. This could be his final game for the Toffees, and he may want to make it memorable with another strong performance.
