Leicester City will hope to bounce back from last weekend’s disappointment when they play host to Arsenal in the Premier League on Saturday. The contest at the King Power Stadium will be difficult to call. Even though Arsenal will be the slight favourites due to their superior position in the table, this opponent is not going to be easy for any side to face. In fact, Leicester were in good form before losing 3-0 to Manchester United in their last game – something they would be keen to put it right soon.
The Foxes had beaten Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur by big margins. They were brimming with confidence when they stepped out to Old Trafford. Leicester City started the brighter of two sides but were not able to score due to their wasteful finishing and David De Gea’s brilliance in between the posts. Eventually, they were not able to maintain that level once Manchester United found their rhythm. Finally, United won the match 3-0 against Leicester. Hence, the Foxes would now be eager to get back to winning ways on Saturday.
On the other hand, Arsenal were on a three-game winless run in the Premier League prior to their trip to Villa Park last weekend. They both played out a terrific game, which ended with the Gunners securing a dramatic late win. As things stand, Arsenal have 54 points from 23 games to be placed at the top of the pile. On the other hand, Leicester City are occupying the 14th spot and have 24 points from 23 matches.

There are not too many injury concerns for both teams but still some notable names will miss this clash for these two sides. Leicester City will be without Jonny Evans, James Justin and Ryan Bertrand for this contest. Besides, they will be sweating over the fitness situation of James Maddison for this game. On the other hand, Arsenal have a concern of their own. It remains to be seen whether Thomas Partey can return in time to feature in this contest. One thing is sure though, the Gunners will definitely be without Gabriel Jesus and Mohamed Elneny for this match.
