Leicester City vs Arsenal Predictions

• Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in Leicester’s last four league games.
• Arsenal’s away league games average 2.75 goals-per-game.
• The Gunners have won their last four games against the Foxes

Gunners back in charge

Arsenal are back in control of their own destiny in the title race after briefly being knocked off top spot ahead of a tricky trip to Leicester City on Saturday.

The Gunners ended a four-game winless streak with a 4-2 win at Aston Villa last time out, fighting back after twice falling behind to secure a valuable three points.

The Foxes saw a three-game winning run ended at Manchester United but they were perhaps on top until they conceded the first goal and they will be hoping for a better showing against a title contender this week.

Goals on the agenda at the King Power

Both of these teams have been involved in some high-scoring games of late so the goals markets look like a good starting point, with this fixture sure to stand out for fans of the over 2.5 goals market.

Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in each of Leicester’s last four Premier League games and they have found their shooting boots recently, scoring six times themselves across their last two outings at the King Power Stadium.

Three of Arsenal’s last five league games have seen at least three goals scored and there have been 10 scored in total across their last two games. The Gunners’ away games are averaging 2.75 goals-per-game so it seems likely these two teams will be able to combine for at least three in total on Saturday.

Arsenal can claim key victory

Every point counts for Arsenal as they seek to end their title drought and they should be able to leave Leicester with all three.

Mikel Arteta’s men have the best away record in the division with nine wins in 12 attempts, and they have a good recent record against the Foxes with four wins in the last four meetings.

Leicester did secure an eye-catching 4-1 win over Spurs in their last home assignment but they have largely struggled against the top teams at home this term and they have the second worst home record in the league, taking just 12 points from 11 games.

Arsenal have been a little vulnerable at the back of late and have gone six games without a clean sheet. Leicester have scored 15 home goals in the league so should be able to at least get on the scoresheet and a 3-1 win for the visitors is the correct score selection.

Finally, Bukayo Saka could be a shrewd scorer bet as he heads into this game in form after managing a goal in each of his last two Arsenal games – taking his tally to nine goals in 23 Premier League games.
