Leicester vs Arsenal Preview

  • Arsenal to win
  • Arsenal to keep clean sheet

Relegation-threatened Leicester City face a tough test as they host an in-form Arsenal side at the King Power Stadium.

With the Foxes sitting 18th in the table, every point is crucial in their bid for survival. Meanwhile, Arsenal are on a 14-match unbeaten run and remain firmly in the Premier League title race.

Leicester City: Fighting for Survival

Leicester City’s return to the Premier League has been anything but smooth, as they sit in the relegation zone (18th) with just one point separating them from 17th-placed Wolves.

The Foxes have lost their last six Premier League games against Arsenal, and their poor home form (four successive league defeats without scoring) raises serious concerns ahead of this clash.

Recent Form (Last Five Matches in All Competitions)

  • Leicester 0-1 Everton (Premier League) – L
  • Leicester 1-3 Manchester United (FA Cup) – L
  • Tottenham 2-1 Leicester (Premier League) – L
  • Leicester 2-0 Southampton (Premier League) – W
  • Leicester 0-2 Fulham (Premier League) – L

Concerns for Leicester

  • Goal Drought at Home: Leicester have failed to score in their last four home league games.
  • Struggles Against Big Teams: Lost 10 of their 11 league matches against teams in the top nine this season.
  • Defensive Issues: Conceded at least two goals in four of their last five matches.

Key Player: Jamie Vardy

Vardy has scored 11 career Premier League goals against Arsenal, making him one of the biggest threats despite Leicester’s struggles. If he gets a chance on the counter, he could be the Foxes’ best hope of an upset.

Arsenal: Title Ambitions Remain Alive

After a 14-match unbeaten Premier League run (W9, D5), Arsenal are in top form, but their 2-0 Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Newcastle was a reality check.

With extra time to recover after missing FA Cup action last weekend, Mikel Arteta’s side should be fresh and fully focused on keeping their title challenge alive.

Recent Form (Last Five Matches in All Competitions)

  • Newcastle 2-0 Arsenal (Carabao Cup) – L
  • Arsenal 2-1 Wolves (Premier League) – W
  • Arsenal 1-1 Brighton (Premier League) – D
  • Liverpool 1-1 Arsenal (Premier League) – D
  • Arsenal 3-0 West Ham (Premier League) – W

Why Arsenal Are Favourites

  • Superb Away Record: Unbeaten in 9 of their last 10 away matches (W6, D3, L1).
  • Dominance Over Relegation-Zone Teams: Won 21 of their last 25 league games against teams in the bottom three.
  • Scoring Form: Arsenal have scored in every away league match this season.

Key Player: Martin Ødegaard

The Arsenal captain scored their opener in the last league round, and last season, he also netted the first goal in an away fixture on matchday 25. Given Leicester’s defensive vulnerabilities, Ødegaard could be the one to unlock them again.

Head-to-Head Record (Last Five Premier League Meetings)

  • 24/09/24 – Arsenal 2-0 Leicester
  • 25/02/23 – Leicester 0-1 Arsenal
  • 13/08/22 – Arsenal 4-2 Leicester
  • 13/03/22 – Arsenal 2-0 Leicester
  • 30/10/21 – Leicester 0-2 Arsenal

Key Trends

  • Arsenal have won the last six Premier League meetings against Leicester.
  • Leicester have failed to score in their last three home H2Hs against Arsenal.
  • The last time Leicester won against Arsenal was in 2020.

Tactical Insights

Leicester’s Approach

  • Defend deep and counter-attack with Vardy’s pace.
  • Use set-pieces to trouble Arsenal’s defence.
  • Stay compact and frustrate Arsenal’s midfield play.

Arsenal’s Strategy

  • Exploit Leicester’s defensive frailties early on.
  • Use wide play with Nwaneri and Trossard to stretch the defence.
  • Control possession and avoid unnecessary turnovers.

Prediction and Final Thoughts

Leicester desperately need points to avoid relegation, but Arsenal’s superior quality should see them take all three points. The Foxes have struggled against top teams, and Arsenal’s attacking depth and defensive solidity should prove too much.

Predicted Scoreline: Leicester 0-2 Arsenal

  • Arsenal’s dominance over Leicester should continue.
  • Ødegaard or Trossard could be the key difference-makers.
  • Leicester’s poor home form will be exposed once again.

Conclusion

Leicester are in a relegation dogfight, but their lack of attacking threat at home will make it hard to stop Arsenal.

The Gunners need a win to keep their title chase alive, and they should get it comfortably against a struggling Foxes side. Expect a professional Arsenal display and another difficult evening for Leicester fans.
