Everton vs Arsenal Stats Explained Fast: Easy Head-to-Head Breakdown!

The whole thing started with coffee

Woke up today thinking, right, folks love those fast football stats breakdowns. Saw the Everton v Arsenal clash trending. Figured, why not make one of those quick head-to-head bits myself? Keep it simple, keep it fast. Knew it had to be super easy to follow, no fancy jargon, just the stuff people actually chat about down the pub.

Digging up the history dirt

First step? Gobbled down my coffee and fired up the laptop. Went straight to the source – proper official league archives. No messing about with fan sites, needed the cold, hard facts. Scrolled through years of past results between these two. Manually typed out:

Everton vs Arsenal Stats Explained Fast: Easy Head-to-Head Breakdown!

  • Last 5 league meetings
  • Who won where
  • Goals scored each game

My table looked like a toddler drew it at first. Crossed out loads, spilled a bit of coffee. Sorted it eventually.

Spotting the annoying patterns

This part always takes ages. Stared at the numbers. Everton at home… mostly defending like their lives depended on it. Arsenal buzzing around… loads more passes. Jotted down:

  • Typical shots on target difference (Arsenal usually way more)
  • How many fouls Everton give away near their box
  • Arsenal possession stats – usually silly high, like 70% sometimes

Had to remind myself: skip the complicated stuff. Nobody cares about “expected threat” before breakfast. Just the basics: who shoots more, who fouls more, who keeps the ball.

Making it sound like real talk

Here’s the kicker – translating number soup into normal words. Started writing, sounded like a robot. Deleted it. Tried again. Asked myself: “Would my mate Dave understand this?” Example:

  • Instead of “high defensive line” ➙ “Everton camped deep, parking the bus practically”
  • Instead of “high pressing efficacy” ➙ “Arsenal chased ’em down like mad dogs from kick-off”

Kept it punchy. Short sentences. No fluff. Wrote like I was explaining it over a pint.

Putting the puzzle together

Finally, slammed all the pieces onto one page. Put the big headline numbers top – wins, draws, losses. Then the fun stuff underneath: the “bus parking” note, the “mad dog chasing,” the “more shots than a rowdy stag do”. Ended it with the real headline: history leans HEAVILY towards Arsenal in this fixture lately. Simple as.

Double-checked everything against my scribbled notes. Made sure no crazy stats snuck in. Saved it. Coffee gone cold ages ago. Worth it.
