Leicester v Arsenal: Premier League match preview

Two of the Premier League’s most in-form teams of the last couple of seasons – Southampton and Swansea – will look to continue their hunt for a place in Europe when they go head-to-head. They are tied for points with West Ham. Standard Sport examines the details below.

Mahrez will be in action when fourth-placed Leicester face Arsenal on Saturday.

Arsenal’s problems this season have all been in the attacking section of the side.

Schmeichel’s interview focused a little bit more on Jamie Vardy, his form and importance for us, and the Danish stopper said. It is a disturbing statistic that Leicester have yet to keep a clean sheet in 13 matches against big-six opponents since their return to the Premier League. Their next game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge was mired with controversy as they succumbed to a 2-0 loss at the hands of Jose Mourinho’s men after having had Gabriel sent off for retaliation.

Owen seems to favour a win for Arsenal, but he is not entirely discounting the possibility a draw for Leicester.

With that in mind, we’ve devised a list of five Premier League strikers who Arsenal should prioritise moves for, knowing at the same time that they could compete in the Champions League’s latter stages, if Arsenal get there that is!

They will be without injured midfielder Francis Coquelin for Saturday’s trip to Leicester, the only unbeaten team in the league. Of course, to win the title you need some luck, but they are ready. Mathieu Flamini scored twice to give Arsenal a thrilling 2-1 victory over the North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur. Anyway, all you have to do to win this brilliant JustArsenal T-Shirt is to make three simple predictions about the Arsenal game at the King Power Stadium tomorrow.

“Arsene Wenger can put Alexis Sanchez in goal and Petr Cech up front and Arsenal will still have a great team”.

In defence the removal of Gabriel’s ban gives Wenger plenty of options, but Per Mertesacker is likely to be reunited with Koscielny. Matt James remains a long-term absence after damaging his anterior cruciate ligament. They are ready to fight for the title again in my opinion.

“The fans like seeing box-to-box play and lots of direct runs, so I think on a physical level I’ve improved because you have to get used to English football“, he said.

“I’m very happy for the team because it was a hard and tough game”, the 31-year-old told a post-match press conference.

Arsenal are odds-on to beat Leicester, with a win for the Gunners priced at 5/6.
