25th February 2023 – 16:00, King Power Stadium, Leicester
Leicester will take on Arsenal in the Premier League 25th round on Saturday afternoon. The hosts want to get away from the danger zone, while the away side eyes another success in the title race.
Leicester City Preview & Team News
Leicester City won’t want a repeat of their last result here after a 3-0 Premier League defeat in their previous game at the hands of Manchester United. That loss broke their two-game winning streak and kept them in the danger zone. Matches featuring Leicester City have tended to be entertaining lately, with plenty of scoring being the norm. Over their past six clashes alone, the sum of 21 goals has gone in for both sides combined (at an average of 3.5 goals per game), with 11 of these accredited to Leicester City. Regarding the availability issues, Ryan Bertrand (Knee Surgery), Jonny Evans (Calf Injury), and James Justin (Achilles tendon rupture) will be missing for Leicester City coach Brendan Rodgers.
Arsenal Preview & Team News
Arsenal will come into the match following on from a 4-2 Premier League win against Aston Villa in their previous outing. That victory got the Gunners back on the winning track and helped them increase the advantage over Man City to five points. The numbers tell their own story, and Arsenal has been scored against in 6 of their last six games, letting opponents get ten goals in all. Defensively, Arsenal has not been doing too well. Going into this one, Arsenal remains unbeaten over Leicester City when they’ve played them away from home in the last two league matches. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has multiple availability issues to deal with. Mohamed Elneny (Knee Injury) and Gabriel Jesus (Knee Injury) can’t be considered.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
It will be a tricky game for the visitors, but we believe they have enough quality to see off the Foxes. Therefore, Arsenal should pick up all three points at King Power Stadium.
Goals Market Prediction
Both teams have been involved in high-scoring matches lately, and that trend should continue in Saturday’s game. That’s why we think neither team will keep the clean sheet in this encounter.
