Did Arsenal win today against Everton?

Checking the most recent result between these clubs: Arsenal defeated Everton 2-0 on March 14, 2026 in Premier League action (SportsMole). The 2024-25 season saw two closely contested meetings — a 0-0 draw at Goodison Park on December 14, 2024, and a 1-1 draw at the Emirates on April 5, 2025 (11v11).

Recent match details

The December 2024 encounter at Goodison Park was a tight, tactical affair with both sides creating limited clear-cut chances. The April 2025 return fixture at the Emirates saw an early goal from each side before the teams cancelled each other out for the remainder of the match.

Scoreline and key moments

Neither fixture produced a winner in the 2024-25 season, reflecting a pattern of increased competitiveness compared to Arsenal’s dominant years. Arsenal had won four consecutive Premier League meetings with Everton from 2023 onwards before these draws.

The pattern

The 0-0 and 1-1 results of 2024-25 mark the first consecutive drawn meetings since at least 2018, suggesting Everton may be closing the gap at the Emirates for the first time since their December 2020–February 2023 purple patch.

Everton vs Arsenal results history

Across 227 meetings since 1905, Arsenal holds a commanding advantage with 114 victories to Everton’s 65, with 48 draws completing the record (SportsMole). This translates to Arsenal winning roughly half of all encounters — a remarkable consistency over 121 years of competition.

All-time record

The disparity becomes even sharper when examining the Premier League era specifically. Arsenal won 31 of 51 Premier League meetings with Everton, scoring 97 goals at an average of 1.9 per match (SoccerPunter). Everton managed just 9 wins in those 51 encounters, averaging 0.8 goals per meeting — less than half Arsenal’s output.

The 2023-24 season brought milestone moments: Arsenal’s victories over Everton represented their 101st and 102nd top-flight wins against the Toffees, cementing the fixture as one of the Gunners’ most productive sources of league points (SportsMole).

Results since 2000

The modern record heavily skews toward Arsenal. Their 4-0 win at the Emirates in March 2023 was the largest margin of victory in recent memory, while their 5-1 victory on the final weekend of the 2021-22 season came after Everton had already secured Premier League survival (SportsMole).

However, the period from December 2020 to February 2023 stands as an outlier. Everton beat Arsenal in four of their five meetings during that span — a run that temporarily challenged the established order of this rivalry (SportsMole).

Why this matters

Everton’s away record against Arsenal tells the story in one number: one win from their last 29 visits to north London, that lone triumph coming via a Bernd Leno own goal in April 2021 (SportsMole). The Toffees have historically struggled to translate home dominance into away results.

Arsenal vs Everton last 10 games

Looking at the last 10 Premier League meetings provides context for where the rivalry stands entering the 2025-26 season.

Date Competition Result
Mar 14, 2026 Premier League Arsenal 2-0 Everton
Apr 5, 2025 Premier League Arsenal 1-1 Everton
Dec 14, 2024 Premier League Everton 0-0 Arsenal
Apr 1, 2024 Premier League Arsenal 2-1 Everton
Sep 2, 2023 Premier League Everton 0-1 Arsenal
Mar 4, 2023 Premier League Arsenal 4-0 Everton
Feb 4, 2023 Premier League Everton 1-0 Arsenal
Dec 6, 2022 Premier League Arsenal 3-1 Everton
May 22, 2022 Premier League Arsenal 5-1 Everton
Dec 19, 2021 Premier League Arsenal 2-1 Everton

Last 5 matches breakdown

In their last five meetings, Arsenal won two, Everton won one, and two ended in draws, with the most recent meeting producing a 2-0 Arsenal victory (SportsMole). The 2024-25 season produced two consecutive draws for the first time in recent head-to-head history.

Win patterns

Arsenal have won six of the last 10 Premier League meetings, but the recent trend toward draws (0-0, 1-1) suggests Everton’s defensive organization has improved. The April 2021 upset — Everton’s only win from their last 29 visits to Arsenal — remains an anomaly that highlights the fixture’s unpredictability.

Bottom line: Arsenal dominate this fixture overall, but the 2024-25 draws and Everton’s 2020-23 run show they cannot be taken for granted. The 121-year record skews heavily in Arsenal’s favor, yet every meeting carries genuine upset potential.

What channel is the Everton v Arsenal game on?

Major Premier League fixtures between Arsenal and Everton are typically broadcast by Sky Sports in the United Kingdom (ESPN). The fixture congestion around holiday periods has led to scheduling controversies, with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta publicly calling on the Premier League to move matches to avoid congested fixture blocks.

Sky Sports holds primary rights for Premier League matches in the UK. Selected fixtures are also available via NBC Sports in the United States and other regional broadcasters internationally. Full match replays are available on Arsenal.com following each fixture.

Upcoming fixtures

The 2025-26 season schedule places Arsenal at Goodison Park early in the campaign, with the return fixture at the Emirates scheduled for later in the calendar. Exact dates are published on Transfermarkt as the season progresses.

The catch

Fixture congestion became a live issue when Arsenal faced a two-matches-in-three-days scenario during the 2024-25 holiday period. The EFL moved the Carabao Cup quarterfinal between Arsenal and Crystal Palace to accommodate scheduling, highlighting how calendar conflicts affect broadcast windows for all clubs.

Everton vs Arsenal fixtures

Beyond the Premier League, Arsenal and Everton have met in several knockout competitions, with Arsenal winning the 1933 Charity Shield and the 1987-88 League Cup semi-final as notable cup victories over the Toffees.

The upcoming 2025-26 Premier League season will see both clubs face each other twice, with the specific match venues rotating between Goodison Park and the Emirates. Dates and kickoff times follow the standard Premier League release schedule.

Historical rivalry context

Everton’s rivalry with Liverpool (the Merseyside derby) typically overshadows meetings with Arsenal in the club’s own fan culture, though the Gunners-Toffees fixture carries its own weight as one of English football’s longest-running top-flight relationships.

  • 114 Arsenal wins, 65 Everton wins, 48 draws
  • Arsenal 31 Premier League wins in 51 meetings per SoccerPunter

What they’re saying

Ian Wright’s 12 goals against Everton make him the most prolific scorer in this fixture’s history — a record that speaks to his clinical finishing during the 1990s peak of this rivalry.

Summary

Arsenal versus Everton represents one of English football’s most enduring rivalries — a 121-year relationship spanning 227 matches that has swung from Arsenal dominance to Everton purple patches and back again. The Gunners hold a clear structural advantage with 114 wins to Everton’s 65, and the recent trend toward draws in 2024-25 suggests the gap may be narrowing. For Everton supporters, the pattern is clear: winning at Goodison Park is achievable, but breaking the Emirates hoodoo requires something exceptional — as it did with that lone win in 29 visits back in April 2021.
