Before Betting
Arsenal maintained their unbeaten start to the new Premier League season last weekend after battling to a draw at the Etihad against Man City.
However, the Gunners would likely have been disappointed with that result after conceding the equalizer in the eighth minute of stoppage time.
Huge credit must be given to Arsenal based on their defensive play, as they limited the reigning champions to few clear scoring chances despite playing the entirety of the second half with ten men.
Mikel Arteta’s plan to sit back almost worked to perfection. The Gunners ended the match with just 22% of possession, their second-lowest share since Opta started recording stats in 2004-05.
Leicester are one of six teams that are still to register a victory in the Premier League this term.
The Foxes sit 15th in the standings after playing out draws on three occasions, which includes ties in each of their last two.
A golden opportunity was spurned on Saturday, as the Foxes failed to make home advantage count against Everton.
Leicester fell behind early in the match, before striking their equalizer in the final 20 minutes.
The failure to win means that the Foxes have now failed to win in their opening five top-flight matches for the seventh time in their history.
The most recent occasion in which they failed to win in the opening five matchdays saw them relegated at the end of the 2022-23 season.
Arsenal vs. Leicester Prediction
Arteta will be out to prove that his Arsenal side have more to their game than their anti-soccer performance at the Etihad last weekend.
The Gunners will dominate the ball this weekend, and they look more than capable of winning by at least a two-goal margin.
Arsenal have won each of their last five against the Foxes, with four of those wins seeing the (-1) spread covered.
