Preliminary review and match prediction for Arsenal vs Leicester City
Fourth place is Arsenal’s to lose now as they sit one point ahead of Manchester United with three games in hand over the Red Devils.
Depending how recent events affect Chelsea it would not be a massive surprise if Arsenal leapfrogged their London rivals into third place by seasons end.
Since a surprising 0-0 draw at home to Burnley the Gooners have won four straight matches, two of these were against Wolves and also struggling Watford and Brentford.
Leicester should be a worthy challenge having won four straight matches; however, Emirates Stadium has proven to be a tough visit for most teams this season and Arsenal will feel confident of getting the win here.
Leicester has won two straight Premier League matches and four in all competitions, but the standard of competition hasn’t been all that great.
Prior matches against Wolves, West Ham and Liverpool yielded just one point from nine and this should give Arsenal confidence.
Jamie Vardy was injured against Rennes in Thursday night’s Europa League match and will miss out against Arsenal. His likely replacement, Patson Daka is capable of making the net bulge and he is priced at 3.0 to score anytime.
Safe Bets
Despite Vardy’s injury, Leicester should be capable of scoring at least one goal here and Arsenal’s last three matches has seen both sides score. Both teams to score is priced at 1.73 in this match.

Highlighted Player – Bukayo Saka
The England international has scored two goals in his last three matches to take his tally for the season to eight league goals.
