Leicester City vs Arsenal Predictions and Betting Tips
Leicester City and Arsenal kick of this weekend's action in the Premier League with both sides keen on moving further up the table. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
The Gunners usually don't have any joy at the King Power as we've seen them win only twice since the Foxes got promoted in 2014. It is also to be noted that Leicester has had the upper hand in the league in recent seasons, winning three of their last five league meetings with the Gunners.
Highly-anticipated encounter on the cards
The Foxes are finally picking up some steam in the 2021/2022 season following a tough start with Rodgers charges heading into this game off the back of four straight wins in all competitions. They did it the hard way in their last top-flight encounter away at Brentford with Maddison's second-half strike making sure of all three points in a 2-1 victory. We saw them follow that up with a penalty shootout triumph in the EFL Cup against Brighton to make it four wins on the bounce. On the league standings, they're currently in 9th with 14 points amassed so far and could well put some daylight on Saturday's opponents who are just behind on goal difference.
Chambers and Nketiah were on the scoresheet in Arsenal's 2-0 victory against Leeds United in the EFL Cup on Tuesday, stretching Arsenal's unbeaten run to eight matches in all competitions. Similar to their opponents, they did start the season poor- or maybe even worse- but are now back to their brilliant best which was evident in their last league encounter against Villa. Partey, Aubameyang and Smith-Rowe's goals all trumped Jacob Ramsey's late strike as we saw the Gunners celebrate another league victory. This weekend's opponents should be a little tough to beat, however, confidence would certainly be through the roof in the Arsenal ranks and as such, they do stand a chance of nicking yet another win.

Leicester City vs Arsenal Prediction: 2-2
Both sides head into this game in blistering form taking into account their recent results. Therefore, we find it hard seeing one side dominate the other this weekend. However, we should see goals at both ends with the Foxes netting at least twice in their last five games and also failing to keep a clean sheet since August.
