Arsenal v Leicester

Arsenal vs Leicester Preview

Arsenal are likely to have had mixed feelings after their entertaining 2-2 draw against Manchester City last weekend as The Gunners earned a solid point at the Etihad Stadium but Mikel Arteta's side must be thinking about what might have been as they led the title-holders 2-1 approaching injury time.

Nevertheless, The Gunners have extended their unbeaten start to this new season to seven games with that point together with a 5-1 thumping of League One side Bolton Wanderers in their midweek League Cup clash and having collected four wins within their opening seven games in all competitions, the north London side will be upbeat about their chances this Saturday when they play host to strugglers Leicester City.

Early season wins against Wolves, Aston Villa and arch-rivals Tottenham have given Arsenal a solid base from which to operate another title challenge this season while the bigger picture shows that Mikel Arteta's side have suffered just two defeats in their previous 18 matches in all competitions.

Losses to Manchester United and Liverpool in club friendlies have been overshadowed by picking up no fewer than 13 wins within this period and along with keeping five clean sheets within their last nine games as well, Arsenal look in good shape to return to winning ways this weekend.

Leicester City find themselves in early trouble in the early stages of this new Premier League campaign as The Foxes have still yet to register a win in the English top flight so far this term having drawn three and losing two of their opening five league matches.

Points picked up in stalemates with Tottenham, Crystal Palace and Everton have been outweighed by slipping to defeats at the hands of Fulham and Aston Villa and now the east midlands club face an extremely tough looking trip to the nation's capital where they'll face high-flying Arsenal.

Despite securing automatic promotion from the Championship at the end of last season's campaign, the Premier League has not been a happy hunting ground for Leicester City as the visitors have managed to capture just two wins from their previous 21 league matches in the domestic top flight.

Wins against Wolves and West Ham were both achieved on home soil at the King Power Stadium but The Foxes have also been handed no fewer than 12 defeats within these previous 21 games which does not bode well for the visitors when they make their way to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Leicester City have also failed to win any of their last 10 outings on the road in the Premier League.
