Match Preview
The Premier League clash this weekend at King Power Stadium is guaranteed to be an interesting meeting when Arsenal traveled to face Leicester City. As leaders of the standings, the Gunners are predicted to pump their enthusiasm and put pressure on the team below them in the standings.
After going through 4 matches without a win, Arsenal won three points with a score of 4-2 over Aston Villa in the previous league match. Mikel Arteta’s squad is now sitting two points in front of Manchester City, and is ready to extend their advantage with victory against Foxes.
Leicester City, on the other hand, is still in 14th position with only 24 points. They are only four points away from the relegation zone with the remaining 15 matches. Their last league entertainment was a disappointing 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford against Manchester United, which ended their three unbeaten matches.
When the last two sides met in August at the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal emerged as the winner with a score of 4-2. Gabriel Jesus led by scoring 2 goals, while Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Martinelli also got a goalscorer. James Maddison added the acquisition of goals for Foxes, after benefiting from his own goal by William Saliba from Arsenal.
Arsenal have dominated their recent meetings with Leicester. The leaders of the standings are currently winning four consecutive matches since February 2021. They have scored 11 goals, while conceding only three during this consecutive victory.
Seeing the seasonal statistics, the threat of Arsenal attacks has come from Bukayo Saka, Martinelli, and Leandro Trossard, each scored nine, eight and eight goals. Meanwhile, Maddison and Harvey Barnes have become a prominent player to Leicester, with Maddison leading nine goals, including the first three important attacks, and Barnes scored eight goals.
Brendan Rodgers’s home record this season is very bad, with three wins, three draws, and five defeats in 11 Premier League matches. Conversely, Arsenal have an impressive away record, with nine wins, one draw, and only two defeats in the league match on their way.
In their last six league matches, Leicester has won two, withdrawing one and lost three. Arsenal, on the other hand, have won three, draws once and lost two matches in their last six H2H. With both parties who want to maintain their momentum, the match of the 25th week of the Premier League will be an interesting battle on Saturday.

Team News
The home team is not too optimistic. Leicester’s players are quite a lot injured, even Maddison is still doubtful to play because of a persistent knee problem.
Meanwhile, James Justin, Jonny Evans and Ryan Bertrand were also unable to play against the top standings. Maddison’s position seems to be replaced by Youri Tielemans. The Belgian midfielder will return to the main squad and could become a substitute.
However, for Arsenal fans, if Rodgers chooses him, Jamie Vardy, who has been lacking in consistency lately, could become a frightening specter in Arsenal’s defense. The 36-year-old player has scored 11 goals against Arsenal, the highest figure for a striker against a certain team.
Meanwhile, Arsenal also have injury problems. Gabriel Jesus and Mohamed Elneny are still recovering from knee surgery. In addition, it is still unclear whether Thomas Partey will be able to play or not, because he is currently suffering from a thigh problem. Even though Partey wants to get well soon, Arteta is unlikely to force him to play, because Jorginho can still replace his role well.
Fortunately, when Saka fell due to injury in the match against Aston Villa, Arteta immediately confirmed that his injury was not too serious. Saka is often targeted by opposing players, but he is still a mainstay on Arsenal’s front lines. For those who don’t know, Saka has scored 26 goals and provided 23 assists in the Premier League until now. If he manages to record 50 goals or assists, Saka will be among the youngest players to achieve this feat. Cool!
