Match Context

Arsenal enters this showdown knowing that only a victory, combined with a slip-up from Manchester City against West Ham United, could secure the title after a 20-year wait. With 89 goals scored in the league, the best defense, and the highest goal difference, Arsenal has every reason to be optimistic, but the pressure is immense.

Everton, under Sean Dyche, has had a turbulent season but managed to avoid relegation well before the final day, despite an eight-point deduction for breaching Profit and Sustainability rules. With 13 clean sheets, Everton has demonstrated defensive strength, even though their away form in 2024 has been less than stellar, with no wins in their last 11 away matches.

Managerial Statements

Mikel Arteta emphasized the match’s significance: “We’re on the final day of the season playing for the Premier League. The Premier League trophy hasn’t been at the Emirates Stadium, which was built almost 20 years ago, so it’s been a long time. So yes, we have to be very optimistic. We have to do our job, and then we have to wait and see what happens”.

Team Analysis

Arsenal faces no major injury concerns, except for Jurrien Timber, who may not be available until next season. It’s expected that Arteta will stick with the same lineup that defeated Manchester United, with Takehiro Tomiyasu continuing at left-back and David Raya, the Golden Glove winner, in goal. In midfield, Thomas Partey, alongside Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard, will form the central trio, while Leandro Trossard and Kai Havertz will lead the attacking line.
