Arsenalvs.Everton

Mikel Arteta's men occupy third place after 15 games of the new term, six points below leaders Liverpool having played a game more, but they strolled to a routine 3-0 Champions League win over Monaco on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Everton were due to welcome Liverpool to Goodison Park for the final Premier League derby at the ground last weekend, only for Storm Darragh to lead to the postponement of the tie.

Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 223

Arsenal wins: 112

Draws: 46

Everton wins: 65

One of the most frequently played fixtures in English football - thanks to the rich top-flight history of both teams - Arsenal and Everton have now crossed paths on 223 occasions across all competitions since the maiden meeting in 1905.

The Toffees won the inaugural battle 1-0 for their first of 65 wins in this fixture, but they have been defeated an astounding 112 times by the Gunners, who have marched to 102 of those wins in the top flight.

Across both the days of the Premier League and the First Division, Arsenal's 102 league successes are the most that any team has achieved over a particular opponent in the English top flight, and they have also struck a record 344 goals over Everton in the big time.

Arsenal recorded top-flight victories number 101 and 102 over Everton in the 2023-24 Premier League season, following up a 1-0 Goodison Park triumph with a 2-1 success at the Emirates on the final day of the season, but that was not enough to dethrone Manchester City.

Earlier in 2023, Arsenal made extremely light work of the Toffees with a 4-0 Emirates slaughter, one year on from also conquering Everton 5-1 on the final weekend of the 2021-22 season after the Toffees had secured their survival.

However, that emphatic victory came in the midst of a dismal run for Arsenal against Everton, who beat the Gunners in four of their five meetings from December 2020 to February 2023, including their most recent win at the Emirates in April 2021.

A Bernd Leno own goal was the difference in that 1-0 triumph for Everton, whose success that day represents their only win from their last 28 visits to Arsenal, who also bested the Toffees in the 1933 Charity Shield and 1987-88 League Cup semi-finals.

No player enjoyed this fixture more than former Arsenal all-time record scorer Ian Wright, who struck 12 goals for the Gunners against the Toffees, while Everton great Dixie Dean managed six strikes versus the North London giants.
