Alan Brazil makes prediction for Everton clash vs Arsenal, he's sure it'll happen
David Moyes' side saw their unbeaten start to the 2026-27 Premier League season evaporate last Saturday.
Chelsea, the Toffees' biggest test of the campaign to that point, ran out 2-0 winners at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Now another huge challenge awaits Everton this weekend, as Moyes takes his side to the home of the champions.
Few will give the Blues much of a chance of victory, and a point would no doubt be a result many Evertonians would snap your hand off for right now.
However, there is at least one person giving Everton a chance of taking something from the game, and that's Alan Brazil.
What did Alan Brazil say about Everton's chances vs Arsenal?
Everton do have the luxury of additional rest in their favour over Arsenal this weekend.
Indeed, the Gunners played out an entertaining 2-2 draw away at Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
Mikel Arteta may have some tired legs in his side after that, whereas Moyes' group of course haven't seen action since Chelsea last weekend.
And, speaking via talkSPORT on Thursday morning, Brazil is sweet on the Toffees' chances at the Emirates.
"Well Moyes has had a good start and they'll make it tough for Arsenal don't worry about that," said the former Tottenham and Man United forward.
So, what is Everton's head-to-head record against Arsenal like, and does it back up Brazil's hunch of a Toffees result on Saturday?
When was Everton's last win over Arsenal?
Everton and Arsenal have both never been relegated from the Premier League since its inception in 1992, making this a classic top-flight fixture.
As detailed via Transfermarkt, these two have met 225 times across history, with Everton winning 64 times and Arsenal 113.
In terms of Premier League meetings, the two sides have clashed 68 times, but the Toffees have only emerged victorious on 12 occasions.
The last time Everton beat Arsenal was in February 2023, when James Tarkowski scored to hand a Sean Dyche-led side a 1-0 win at Goodison Park.
Looking at Everton's record at Arsenal, in the 32 trips to North London since 1997, the Toffees have won just once, and that was in April 2021.
So, if Moyes' side can take three points on Saturday, that really would be a huge and historic achievement, and one that would send a big message to the division.
Kick-off is scheduled for 3pm, and it looks set to be a rainy afternoon at the Emirates, which could play into Everton's favour.
