Premier League Preview and Prediction: Leicester City vs Arsenal

While the Frenchman’s side remain without a win, he was pleased by their display.

The North London outfit will head into the game against Leicester at the King Power Stadium on the back of a 4-3 home defeat to Liverpool.

Leicester and Arsenal will both be looking to recover from opening day defeats when they meet at the King Power Stadium on Saturday evening.

“I’m happy to continue my adventure with Leicester City”.

It was a huge coup for Ranieri after the England forward scored 24 goals last season to propel them to their shock Premier League title.

Adding to the drama will be the appearance of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, both of whom have now signed new contracts this summer to end protracted transfer sagas in which they turned down the Gunners’ advances. We know they are a good team with a good manager, but we are ready.

Mahrez was another to attract Arsenal’s attention but signed a new four-year contract on Wednesday.

Ranieri said this week that he has told Mahrez that he expects even more this season, especially with City set to embark on their maiden Champions League campaign.

“It’s for everyone, not just for the players and not just for the club, but for the city and every one that’s behind Leicester City”.

He had an excellent season scoring on 17 occasions and making 11 assists – this had led to plenty of speculation about his future and there were rumours he might move but this news will delight the club’s supporters.

“It (the Premier League) is the best league in the world, the most exciting, where there is the most at stake”.

The Foxes face Arsenal on Saturday and have defender Robert Huth available after serving a three-game suspension.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admits his side has to be very careful in defence if they are to take anything away from tomorrow’s game against Leicester City.

The first, when Danny Drinkwater tumbled over Laurent Koscielny’s outstretched foot, seemed the right decision, but replays suggested Hector Bellerin should have been penalised for tripping Ahmed Musa late on.
