Leicester City vs Arsenal Prediction

The hosts have made a disappointing start to their return to the Premier League as they are languishing in the third-last spot of the relegation zone. Leicester were knocked out of the FA Cup by Manchester United and sustained a 4-0 loss to Everton prior to the cup tie. Due to their woeful form, the Foxes are not the favorite to win three points against the visitors.

As for Arsenal, they will be aiming to continue with their winning formula in the Premier League despite suffering a 2-0 away loss to Newcastle which sealed their exit from the Carabao Cup. The Gunners have been potent in front of goal and are expected to steal an easy away win this weekend.
