As Arsenal prepares for their upcoming match against Everton, manager Mikel Arteta may have received a crucial statistic that could influence his team selection. According to a recent statistic, Gabriel Jesus has an impressive record against Everton, having scored eight goals in his last eight Premier League games against the Merseyside club.
This statistic suggests that Arteta should strongly consider starting Gabriel Jesus in the match against Everton next Sunday. The Brazilian striker’s ability to find the back of the net consistently against this particular opponent could prove to be a significant advantage for Arsenal.
Currently sitting in fifth place on the Premier League table with 10 points from four games, Arsenal will be looking to continue their positive start to the 2023/24 campaign. A victory against Everton would not only boost their points tally but also provide a statement of intent as they aim to challenge for silverware this season.

Arteta will have several attacking options to choose from, but the statistic highlighting Gabriel Jesus’ success against Everton should not be ignored. The 25-year-old forward possesses pace, skill, and a clinical finishing ability that could trouble Everton’s defense and provide Arsenal with the cutting edge they need to secure a vital win.
However, it is ultimately up to Arteta to analyze the opposition, assess his squad’s fitness levels, and make the final decision on his starting lineup. While statistics can provide useful insights, they should not be the sole determining factor in team selection.
Regardless of whether Gabriel Jesus starts or not, Arsenal will be hoping for a strong performance from their entire squad as they aim to continue their positive momentum and secure three points against Everton.
