The weekend’s Premier League action gets underway at the King Power Stadium as Leicester City take on Arsenal in a mid-table clash.
Leicester followed up a 4-2 home thrashing of Manchester United with a hard-earned 2-1 away win over the league newcomers Brentford to move within a three-point gap from fourth-placed West Ham. They could now rack up three consecutive Premier League triumphs for the first time since January 2021. After losing just one of their last five top-flight home H2Hs (W3, D1, L1), the ‘Foxes’ will fancy their chances here. Heading into this matchday, Brendan Rodgers’ men are unbeaten in their last four Premier League matches (W2, D2), netting an average of 3.00 goals per match in that sequence. Leicester’s free-scoring form in that run bodes well with their recent home showings, as they’ve bagged 2+ goals in each of their last four competitive games at the King Power Stadium (W1, D3 – 90 mins only).
In the meantime, the visitors have turned their Premier League fortunes around in the wake of September’s international break, going from a three-game losing start to the season to a six-match unbeaten league streak (W4, D2). Despite Arsenal’s recent upturn in form, it’s worth noting that just one of those four victories arrived against a top-half side, while their underwhelming away from continues to throw a spanner in the works. Indeed, barring a 1-0 triumph at Turf Moor over relegation-threatened Burnley in mid-September, the ‘Gunners’ have failed to win any of their remaining three Premier League away fixtures this season (D1, L2), drawing a blank on each occasion! Topically, Mikel Arteta’s men have attempted a league second-low six shots on target on the road this season, which should be a concern going into this game.
