Premier League – Arsenal face Leicester City

This Sunday sees Arsenal go head to head with Leicester at Emirates Stadium – Kick-off 5:30pm GMT.

It’s fourth v twelfth in the League, as Arsenal take on Leicester on Sunday.

Arsenal have so far accrued 48 points in this season of the Premier League

Mikel Arteta will hope that success brings further success, as his side look for another win in a row. Their last two outings resulted in victories against Watford and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Also, Arsenal keep finding ways to win, having secured 12 victories in their last 17 meetings is astonishing this season and they are looking worthy of the aspiration to qualify for Champion’s League football. Their position is fourth in the League and they have 48 points, that is, 15W, 7L and 3D having won 15 fixtures, drawn three matches, and lost seven games.

Leicester will have to defy the odds when they travel to Arsenal, if they are to get anything out of the game. With Arsenal having won nine meetings, drawn two matches, and lost two fixtures this season at home, this is a huge ask.

Victory for Arsenal would take their points tally to 51 so far this season.

Good Attacking Performance

They have a good scoring record of 41 goals. This has been largely down to the key attacking players: Bukayo Saka (2), Gabriel Magalhaes (1), and Martin Odegaard (1). Arsenal have conceded 29 goals.

Arsenal may have to resort to second choice players, given the number of first choice players that are now unavailable through injury, illness or suspension.

Leicester City arrive at this game, having secured 33 points so far this season

With Leicester having secured all three points on their two previous outings, Brendan Rodgers’s men will doubtless be looking to retain their run after this fixture.

Also, success in football comes from winning more games than your opponents, simply put, if Leicester can continue to extend their winning streak from two games then The Foxes will have an incredible season. With a twelfth position in the league and 9 wins, 10 losses and 6 draws, they currently have 33 points in the League having won nine meetings, drawn six fixtures, and lost 10 games.

With a poor record on the road, which amounts to three wins, three draws, and six losses, it is hard to predict a positive outcome for Leicester as they travel once more.

A win in this fixture, would take Leicester City’s points from 33 to 36, so far this season.

Good Attacking Performance

Leicester will be pleased to have a good goal scoring record so far this season (40). This has been largely down to the key attacking players: James Maddison (2), Patson Daka (2), and Harvey Barnes (1). Teams that leak goals on a consistent basis, don’t tend to win anything, such is the situation with Leicester so far, having conceded 43 goals in their last fixtures so far.

Leicester are no strangers this season to illness and injury and Brendan Rodgers is concerned that Sunday’s fixture could see him without seven of his key players
