Team News
Arsenal: Mesut Ozil snd Danny Welbeck have faced injuries but have overcome them and are fit to feature for this match. However Cech and Sokratis will both face fitness tests to determine if they can play and if not expect Leno and Holding to come in for them. Koscielny is still out but Maitland-Niles is finally back but don’t expect him to feature here. Elsewhere everyone else is fit to go and Emery will have some selection headaches coming into this match considering how many players are currently showing up. We can expect Aubameyang and Lacazette to start up front together after Auba came off the bench against Fulham probably for rotation purposes.
Leicester City: Leicester will be without Demarai Gray and Matty James who are both injured meanwhile Wes Morgan is out due to suspension so we can expect Jonny Evans to slot in at CB for the captain. Otherwise everyone is available
Betting Tips and Predictions
Expect Arsenal to win here and do it in solid fashion. Arsenal -1 AH is the first pick at 1.85. Arsenal’s attack will prove to be too much for Leicester here who will be missing their key centre back and in general don’t really defend that well. Arsenal are clicking, at home they’re pretty much flawless and the duo of Lacazette and Aubameyang are simply too much to handle for a team like Leicester. Leicester May get 1 goal here but they could very well concede 3-4. Over 3.5 goals at 2.20 is worth the look also. We can expect an entertaining end to end game and our prediction here is a 4-1 Arsenal Win. Despite having Leicester beaten, Vardy to score anytime is worth the try given his record against big 6 and in particular against Arsenal.
