Tony Bellew doesn't seem to have much hope as Everton face Arsenal on Saturday.

The Toffees will travel to the Emirates Stadium on 24 October after losing their unbeaten Premier League record to Chelsea at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Mikel Arteta's team have generally been solid this season, and they sit second behind Manchester City in the table.

Arsenal will certainly be considered favourites at home against David Moyes' side.

While the Blues can create chances, they lack the clinical edge to punish teams.

The Merseyside outfit's defence has been relatively solid for most of the season so far, but it remains to be seen whether they can keep the Gunners at bay.

Leon Osman and Tony Bellew make Arsenal vs Everton prediction

Arsenal are expected to beat Everton at the Emirates Stadium given the quality at the two managers' disposal.

The Gunners lost Bukayo Saka to injury early against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, but still managed to come back and draw at the Allianz Arena.

Leon Osman has predicted a 1-1 scoreline in North London, with Moyes' team backed to get a point.

Speaking on the Outside the Box Pod, co-host Liam Kiziltan then said, "I'm going 0-0," to which Bellew replied, "That'd be the dream."

Going to the Emirates and getting a point after the 2-0 loss against Chelsea would undoubtedly be a positive result for the Merseysiders.

However, keeping Arsenal quiet for 90 minutes will arguably require a monumental effort from Moyes' side as a group.

David Moyes could implement major tactical change at Emirates Stadium

While some Everton fans might not like it, Moyes has found success with his conservative approach in recent seasons.

The Scottish manager has taken the Toffees from relegation contenders to European hopefuls.

It wouldn't be surprising to see the 63-year-old head coach focus on shutting Arsenal down at the Emirates.

Moyes could decide to play a back five, given Ainsley Maitland-Niles' defensive struggles in recent matches.

Jake O'Brien may come into the side to stop the Gunners from scoring past Jordan Pickford, as the Scottish manager has been unable to rely on his attack to find the back of the net consistently.
