Leicester vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting tips
Leicester City v Arsenal is on paper the most interesting poster this week in the Carabao Cup. Both clubs have so far taken full advantage of the Premier League and are still unbeaten this season. That will be different after Wednesday-evening, as one of these two teams will have to accept its first loss of the season in this cup game.
Leicester City:
After a long and grueling last season, Brendan Rodgers has managed to get his team back in shape for the new season. Leicester City got off the starting blocks in the first weeks of the new season. To date, The Foxes have played two games in the Premier League and both games have been won convincingly. In the opening weekend, Leicester City was 0-3 too strong for candidate West Bromwich Albion.
On Sunday evening, Leicester played the first home game of the season. Burnley visited King Power Stadium and Leicester recorded a 4-2 victory. The first two games gave Leicester six points immediately: in the 2015-2016 season that happened for the last time. In that season, The Foxes also took the Premier League title. Remarkable: Leicester is also at the top of the Premier League for the first time since that season. Leicester will not be champion, but the start of the season for The Foxes is promising. In the cup match with Arsenal, Rodgers has to miss three players. Ricardo Pereira is out with a knee injury for a while, but Jonny Evans (both injured and suspended on Wednesday evening) and Filip Benković are on their way back to Leicester.
Arsenal:
For Arsenal, the cup match against Leicester will be the fourth official game of this season. Mikel Arteta’s team played in the battle for the Community Shield against Liverpool at the end of August (1-1, win after penalties) and, like Leicester, has already had two league matches. At Arsenal, they had the honor of kicking off the new Premier League season with Fulham and the North Londoners took an easy 0-3 win over Craven Cottage. Arsenal played an excellent game against the newly promoted fellow townsman and took it again on Saturday evening against a club from London.
In their own Emirates Stadium, Arsenal got a visit from David Moyes’ West Ham United. In the 25th minute, Arsenal took the lead by a header from Alexandre Lacazette on a pass from his buddy Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. After that, Arsenal had a hard time with West Ham United, which made the equalizer before the half time signal. It was substitute Eddie Nketiah who gave Arsenal a 2-1 victory five minutes before the end, but it did not go well with Arsenal. Looking at the proportions on the field, West Ham United was perhaps more entitled to a result than Arsenal. The North Londoners showed once again against West Ham United that they are still not among the top of the Premier League. Arsenal are still too hit and miss and luckily for The Gunners, a bad day last weekend was not punished.
