Arsenal should try to pin Everton and recover clearances near the box. Everton can answer with a direct first reception and a switch toward the far side. QPR and Swansea have a similar contest over the first central pass. Swansea's next recovery can become another attack, while QPR have speed on both flanks.
Everton's Grealish and Garner can connect with Barry, with Dewsbury-Hall collecting the next ball. Arsenal have a shorter turnaround, Saka has been ruled out after his brief Bayern appearance and Saliba missed that game; Everton's Mykolenko played the full Chelsea match despite an older absence flag. Everton's current outlets can keep Arsenal's defenders occupied after an initial press. That's why I'm siding with Everton to stay close at the Emirates.
Swansea's counter-press can meet a QPR midfield missing Madsen, who was unused against Birmingham, while Lissah returns after serving his ban. Ronald played Swansea's last match but is now ruled out, leaving Idah, Yeo and the wide replacements to receive the recycled ball. Those routes give Swansea a way to turn territorial spells into the decisive contact. That's why I'm siding with Swansea to win at QPR.
