Arsenal is taking on Leicester City in the Premier League in a highly anticipated match as they seek to bounce back from last weekend’s dramatic draw with title contenders Manchester City. Despite an impressive performance, the Gunners were denied victory by a late goal from John Stones. However, with City slipping up earlier in the day against Newcastle, a win against Leicester would see Arsenal draw level on points with Pep Guardiola’s side.
Leicester, who are still searching for their first win of the season after their promotion from the Championship, have secured three draws out of five games so far. The historical statistics heavily favour Arsenal heading into this match, as they have won their last five Premier League encounters against Leicester.
Both teams made changes to their line-ups for their recent cup fixtures, with Leicester managing a penalty shootout victory over Walsall and Arsenal progressing in the Carabao Cup fourth round. However, Mikel Arteta opted for an unchanged starting XI from the City draw, while Steve Cooper made two changes to the team that drew with Everton.
Arsenal is currently undefeated in the Premier League this season, coming off the back of a tough 2-2 draw against Manchester City. Meanwhile, Leicester is yet to secure a league victory in their top-flight return. The match promises to be an exciting clash between two teams with contrasting form so far this season.
