After pondering the Opta stats, Lewis Jones is jumping on the Arsenal to win to nil train once more, which has stopped at profit-parkway in six of their last seven games....

"Howard Webb will officiate Arsenal v Everton; the Gunners have won their last eight Premier League games with him as the man in the middle."
Best Bet: Arsenal to beat Everton @ 1.748/11

Howard Webb will officiate Arsenal v Everton; the Gunners have won their last eight Premier League games with him as the man in the middle
The World Cup 2010 final referee has a reputation for being a lucky charm for Man United, but his recent presence in north London outweighs his record when taking charge of Red Devils fixtures. Arsenal are unbeaten at home in the Premier League with Webb as referee (W10 D4 L0). The sight of the forthright adjudicator in the middle won't inspire much hope in Everton punting circles, where they will be looking to back the Toffees to follow up their 1-0 win at Old Trafford with another big scalp. The away win is 5.79/2, but has no hope. Arsene Wenger has Arsenal rolling in indestructible fashion, winning six of their last seven games in all competitions to nil. Plus, they've won eight and lost none of their last 12 Premier League games against Everton.
Best Bet: Arsenal to beat Everton @ 1.748/11

There have been just four goals scored in the last four Premier League meetings between Everton and Arsenal
There doesn't seem much logic in deserting this fantastic trend of Wenger's men winning without conceding. Apart from a slight blip at Man United, where Robin van Persie breached their backline, Arsenal, as we touched upon, have kept seven clean sheets in their last nine. Everton have only managed more than one goal in a league game against Arsenal on one occasion in the last 21 meetings and have failed to score on the road against lowly Crystal Palace and Cardiff this season. This looks a perfect opportunity to incorporate the low-scoring nature of the match into the outright win bet for Arsenal. Along with backing the home win, dutching stakes on both 1-0 at 9.28/1 and 2-0 at 10.09/1 is a tactically sound punting strategy.
Recommended Bet: Back Arsenal to win 1-0 @ 9.28/1 and 2-0 @ 10.09/1

Arsenal have scored in 13 of their 14 games and have led in 12 of their 14 games this season, both Premier League highs
One big clue about a team's Premier League title pedigree is their consistency in finding the net and an ability to hold onto leads. Wenger's side do both very well, which makes their 3.65 title odds very appealing. The only time Arsenal have lost when in the lead this season was at home to Aston Villa on the opening day and they have been winning at half-time and full-time in five of their last seven Premier League matches. The odds for it happen again are bigger than the trend suggests. You know what to do.
Recommended Bet: Back Arsenal/Arsenal in Half Time/Full Time market @ 2.77/4
