MATCH PREVIEW
| Leicester entertain Arsenal on the back of a chastening run of form. Claude Puel’s men have taken just a single point from the last fifteen available, conceding seven and scoring none in the last three. |
| Though it means nothing, Leicester can still finish as the best team not to qualify for Europe, but to stand any chance, the ‘Foxes’ must beat Arsenal. The Gunners have long since cemented their place in the Europa League group stage, but will still be eager to please Arsene Wenger as he prepares to depart the club after nearly 22 years at the helm. |
| It comes as no surprise to see that Leicester are currently bottom of the form table with the joint-fewest goals scored. In the five-game home form table, Leicester are second-bottom with a league low of three goals scored over that period. |
| Fortunately for Leicester, Arsenal’s away form is atrocious. The Gunners have lost six in a row on the road, and this is the first time it has happened since 1966, when the club went seven away games without a point. Thus, a defeat here would see Wenger emulate that ‘achievement’ and bow out in a manner ill-befitting of his career in north London. |
| Players to watch: With two goals in his last five matches, Leicester midfield Vicente Iborra is enjoying a good spell, and will be eager to get his first goal at the King Power stadium. |
| He got a double in Sunday’s 5-0 thrashing of Burnley, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang approaches this game in blistering form! |
| Stat attack: With 65 wins from 138 matches against Leicester, Arsenal are historically dominant in this fixture, and have never lost in four visits to the King Power Stadium (W1, D3). |
| Expect goals – eight of Arsenal’s last ten matches have produced over 2.5 goals, while eight out of the last ten matches between the sides have seen both teams score. |
