Gabby Agbonlahor has made his prediction as Arsenal prepare to lock horns against Everton in Wednesday night’s clash.
While Sean Dyche sprung a surprise by masterminding a 1-0 victory against Mikel Arteta’s men in his first game in charge, it would be unlikely for most to see them doing the double on the Premier League leaders. And that too, away from home.
Gabby Agbonlahor believes the same, as his prediction saw Arsenal demolish Everton and the ‘gutsy’ Bukayo Saka put the ball into the back of the net.
Gabby Agbonlahor makes Arsenal vs Everton prediction
If the Gunners do manage to beat the Toffees, they will also manage to extend their lead at the top of the table to 5 points above Manchester City, which is set to be an added motivation for them to get the ideal result.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Gabby Agbonlahor made his prediction about the contest saying, “I’ve just got this funny feeling about Arsenal tonight. I feel like they’re really going to put Everton to the sword. Home game, under the lights against a poor Everton side.”
“I thought against Aston Villa, they were very poor. Tonight, I think [Bukayo] Saka gets back on the score sheet.”
Arsenal must win by any means necessary
Whether Mikel Arteta’s men play champagne football or grind out a win at the Emirates Stadium is besides the point as the result is what matters the most.
After their recent blip, Arsenal have got another chance to pull away from Manchester City in the title race significantly, which is why a win, regardless of whether it is as flamboyant as Gabby Agbonlahor foresees in his latest prediction remains crucial.
Considering the table toppers tend to be virtually invincible at home, it would come as a major surprise if they manage to drop points in their upcoming mid-week fixture, especially if the £70,000-a-week man gets a goal.
