Arsenal vs Leicester Prediction & Betting tips
In North London, Arsenal will receive a visit from Leicester City on Sunday evening. Both teams took nine points from their first five league games. Both Arsenal and Leicester City lost the previous league game, but both clubs did book a victory in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
Arsenal:
At Arsenal they hope to qualify for the Champions League this season. This Arsenal is currently a lot further than it was last season, but point loss remains insurmountable for Mikel Arteta’s team. If you compare the selection of Arsenal with the other selections in the Premier League, you can expect Arsenal to interfere in the battle for the Champions League tickets. We cannot expect much more from this Arsenal, because clubs like Manchester City and Liverpool are a lot further.
That was also evident last weekend. In the game at Manchester City, Arsenal had to settle for a 1-0 defeat. It was the second league loss of this season for Arsenal, which also suffered a defeat on a visit to Liverpool (3-1) over a month ago. The other three league games were won by Arteta and his team. Just like a heavily modified Arsenal on Thursday evening in group B of the Europa League, booked a 1-2 victory on a visit to the Austrian Rapid Wien. Thanks to the victory on the European mainland, The Gunners immediately have a good starting position for the group stage of the European tournament, in which Arsenal also competes against Dundalk and Molde FK.
Leicester City:
Leicester City has as many points as Arsenal. Brendan Rodgers’ side, however, has a slightly better goal difference than the club from North London. At Leicester City, they will only be satisfied with the nine points that were taken in the first five games of this season. Still, Leicester City is not in shape in the Premier League, as The Foxes lost their last two league matches. After a 0-3 loss just before the international break against West Ham United, Leicester City suffered another home defeat last weekend. In the King Power Stadium, Aston Villa was 0-1 too strong for the Rodgers team.
Last season, Leicester City finished fifth in the Premier League. As a result, The Foxes qualified for the group stage of the Europa League. Leicester City booked the first victory in it on Thursday evening. At home, Zorya Lugansk was easily put aside 3-0 by hits from James Maddison, Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho. Star player Jamie Vardy had to miss Leicester’s Europa League game against Ukrainian Zorya Lugansk, but the 33-year-old striker seems fit in time for the game at Arsenal. In four league appearances, Vardy has already scored five goals this season and remains the main player for The Foxes.
