Everton are preparing for the biggest challenge anywhere in the Premier League this Saturday.

David Moyes’ side are enjoying the fruits of back-to-back Premier League wins over Newcastle and Burnley respectively, which has helped solidify their place in the top half.

Now sitting eighth and with the European places still within reach, the Toffees will be hoping they stay sweet between now and the end of the campaign.

However, their feel-good factor may be soured on Saturday, as Everton travel to Arsenal for a 5.30pm kick-off in the capital, as Toffees hero Mikel Arteta looks to move his team closer to the title.

What is Everton’s Premier League record vs Arsenal?

Arsenal beat Everton 1-0 in the reverse fixture back in December of last year, with a 27th-minute Viktor Gyokeres penalty making all the difference on that Hill Dickinson Stadium night.

Since then, Moyes’ men have turned around their form for the better, having lost three times in all competitions since that 20 December meeting, and will be hoping to throw another spanner into the title race works on Saturday.

However, that’s going to be far easier said than done, and when scrolling through the Premier League history books of this fixture, the size of the Everton challenge becomes even clearer.

Indeed, in the 67 times these two Premier League stalwarts have clashed in the top flight, Everton have only emerged as the victors on 12 occassions.

Arsenal meanwhile, have won 39 times against the Toffees, with the other 16 games ending in draws.

The Gunners have fired home 126 goals across those 67 matches, whilst Everton have found the net just 58 times, with the all-time top scorer in the fixture being Arsenal icon Ian Wright with eight.

Everton’s last league win over Arsenal came on 4 February 2023, when a 60th-minute James Tarkowski header earned his team a 1-0 win at Goodison Park.

When was the last time Everton won at the Emirates?

Arsenal have built their Premier League title challenge around their form at the Emirates this season, making it an almost impenetrable fortress for away sides.

Arteta’s men have lost just once their all term, winning 11 of their 14 home league games, with 33 goals scored and only nine conceded.

So, it goes without saying that Everton will need to be at their very best, and will likely require to meet Arsenal on an off day if they are to take something back to Merseyside.

The last time the Toffees won at the Emirates was all the way back in April 2021, when a Bernd Leno own goal handed Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton a 1-0 win.
