Arsenal vs Leicester Predictions

Arsenal have looked very good on home soil this season, as they did last. I don't see Leicester causing them too many troubles.

Head to Head

Arsenal have a 72-33 advantage against Leicester in 150 meetings with 45 draws. The Gunners have scored five goals in their last two against the Foxes.

Arsenal Form

Arsenal remain unbeaten in the 2024/25 campaign so far. The North Londoners have won four and drawn twice in all competitions.

Mikel Arteta’s side won three of their opening four Premier League games, conceding just once in this streak. This run came before a 0-0 Champions League deadlock at Atalanta and a 2-2 draw at Man City.

The Gunners were back to winning ways on Wednesday after thrashing Bolton 5-1 at home in the EFL Cup. Debutant Ethan Nwaneri scored twice and Declan Rice, Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz were also on target.

Arsenal Injuries & Team News

Forward Leandro Trossard was sent off against City and is suspended here.

Midfielders Martin Odegaard and Mikel Merino are injured and won’t feature.

Defensive trio Kieran Tierney, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Oleksandr Zinchenko are also out.

Leicester Form

Leicester have won just once in their first seven fixtures of the new season. Steve Coopers’ team haven’t won in the Premier League yet and conceded eight goals in five games.

The Foxes picked up points from consecutive draws after the international break. A 2-2 stalemate at Crystal Palace and a 1-1 draw with Everton helped Leicester add to their points tally.

The top-flight side were held to a goalless draw at League Two Walsall in the EFL Cup in mid-week. Leicester progressed with a 3-0 penalty win after failing to score with nine shots on goal.

Leicester Injuries & Team News

Cooper rested Jamie Vardy and Stephy Mavididi against Walsall. Both forwards have two goals this season and are likely to return to the starting lineup.

Defender Jannik Vestergaard has been ruled out until October with an ankle injury.

Goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk and forward Patson Daka are also unavailable.

Verdict

Arsenal v Leicester

Arsenal often play teams off the part at home and can put goals past leaky Leicester. The Foxes have been off the pace early this season and a Gunners home handicap is tipped.
