Leicester City v Arsenal Preview
Leicester City’s Form
It’s been a wild ride for Leicester this past decade going from avoiding relegation to the Championship by the skin of their teeth in the 14/15 season to sensationally winning the Premier League season in 15/16. They landed an FA Cup in 2021 before being relegated to the Championship in the 22/23 season. Despite their dominant Championship victory last season they were expected to struggle this time around.
That pre-season prediction has proved vindicated with the club struggling with ultimately saw Steve Cooper lose his job on the 24th of November who was then replaced by Ruud van Nistelrooy. Their Premier League form hasn’t improved with the change of management and with 14 games remaining the club are currently 18th in the Premier League two points behind Wolves directly above them.
Their most recent fixture was a 2-1 FA Cup elimination at the hands of Man United and though they lost it was in large part due to a late flurry from the home side including a Maguire last-minute winner which was offside.

Arsenal’s Form
Ahead of the 24/25 season, there seemed to be a growing pressure on Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side to land a “major” trophy following finishing the 23/24 season trophyless for the fourth successive time. The improvements under Arteta have been considerable but at some point, they need to land another trophy.
Their trajectory in the 24/25 season has continued to be positive in the main two competitions with Arsenal second in the Premier League albeit six points behind Liverpool they remain in an elusive title race. In the Champions League, they’ve performed strongly too with nineteen points in the league phase meaning they finished third in the table and qualified for the Round of 16 automatically. Elsewhere though their prospects are nil having been eliminated in the FA Cup on penalties by Man United and in the EFL Cup semi-final by Newcastle.
Due to the form of Liverpool above them, nothing but a win will suffice or they’re likely to fall further behind the league leaders.

Key Players To Watch
Jamie Vardy - Leicester City
The veteran English striker (38) is currently ranked 15th on the all-time Premier League scoring charts with 143 goals across 329 games.
Returning to the league following Leicester’s promotion people questioned whether could he still hack it in the top flight but he’s seriously silenced doubters with a respectable tally of 8 goals and 3 assists in 23 games across all competitions. For this game, he is priced at 12/1 to score first and 7/2 to score anytime.
Vardy anytime goal - 7/2
Leonadro Trossard - Arsenal
Since signing from Brighton ahead of the 22/23 season, Trossard has played several different squad roles from impact sub to starter playing all across the front five attacking position but predominately as a LW, he has amassed 23 goals and 18 assists from 104 games.
This season he has played a quietly effective role with 5 goals and 6 assists in 36 league games. However, with Arsenal’s injury issues in attack, his importance will be heightened for this game. Trossard is priced at 11/2 to be the first goal scorer and 7/4 to score anytime.
Trossard anytime goal - 7/4
Leicester City v Arsenal Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: Leicester City 0-3 Arsenal
Leicester were unlucky last time out against Man United, but Arsenal’s consistency will be a whole different challenge to deal with.
Arsenal are in a title race, but can ill afford to slip-up due to Liverpool’s ruthless nature ahead of them.
I fancy Arsenal to win comfortably, though they could struggle for goals due to their injury problems.
Best Bet: Arsenal Win + Under 3.5 Total Goals @ 11/10
Arsenal Win + Under 3.5 Total Goals -11/10
