North London giants Arsenal can steal a march on their rivals in the keenly contested race for the Premier League top-four when they travel to face Merseyside club Everton.

The Gunners are in a good position to secure a return to the Champions League at the end of the season after a two-year absence and a win over the Toffees will further strengthen that position.

Arsenal moved into third place on Monday after a routine 2-0 win over Newcastle United courtesy goals from Aaron Ramsey and Alexandre Lacazette.

However, the Gunners have dropped to fourth position after North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur beat Crystal Palace 2-0 with goals from Son Heung-Min and Christian Eriksen but a win would take Arsenal back into third place.

Arsenal have a very good record against Everton including the 5-2 win in the same fixture last season but Everton have found form in recent games which has resulted in wins over Chelsea and West Ham United.

The Gunners have five away games from seven startings from the Everton duel and they will have to improve their away form as they need just five league wins all season to secure the top-four spot that they crave.

An away win for Arsenal is at the odds of 2.35 according to Surebet247 while an Everton victory has 3.05 odds.A stalemate is at the odds of 3.50 as confirmed by Surebet247.
