Leicester v Arsenal

Leicester vs Arsenal Preview

Leicester City returned to type last time out in the Premier League when The Foxes suffered a heavy 4-0 loss away from home at Everton as the east midlands club failed to build upon a previously impressive 2-1 win away from home at Tottenham, leaving the upcoming hosts back in the relegation zone and sitting third from bottom in the Premier League table.

Arsenal extended their impressive unbeaten sequence in the English top flight to 14 league matches with an equally impressive and comprehensive 5-1 thrashing of Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium which became a sixth win in eight games for The Gunners.

Leicester City have now managed to capture just one win from their last 10 matches overall in the Premier League which was the aforementioned win away at Tottenham but The Foxes have also been dealt no fewer than eight defeats within this recent period of results which has condemned the hosts back down into the relegation zone.

The wider picture shows Leicester City have collected just four wins throughout the whole of this current campaign which have come in the shape of wins against Bournemouth, Southampton, West Ham and Tottenham, but the hosts have also slipped to 12 defeats within their previous 16 matches overall which does not bode well for The Foxes.

Arsenal registered back-to-back wins last time out in the English top flight when they inflicted a heavy 5-1 defeat upon Manchester City which followed a previous 1-0 win away from home at Wolves, leaving The Gunners remaining in second place in the table and six points behind the league leaders, Liverpool.

The north London visitors have collected nine wins within their previous 14 matches overall in the Premier League, four of which have been achieved on their travels where Mikel Arteta's side have picked up important wins on the road at West Ham, Crystal Palace, Brentford and Wolves respectively, so confidence will be high amongst the Arsenal camp.

The bigger picture shows Arsenal have been dealt just two defeats to date in this season's top flight campaign, both of which were way from home at Bournemouth and Newcastle United respectively, but these have been The Gunners' only losses in their last 21 outings on the road along with picking up 14 wins.

Mikel Arteta's side will be confident that they can hit the back of the net at least once if not more as Leicester City possess the second-worst defensive record overall in the Premier League.
