Facts:
🤔 Arsenal lost four of their visits to the top six last term
🤔 Leicester have won their last three home meetings with Arsenal
🤔 The Foxes have won both games in the league so far, scoring seven times
🤔 Jamie Vardy has 10 goals in 10 meetings with Arsenal
However, the Gunners failed to win at any of the league’s top six last term so they should be worried here.
Arsenal produced just two points from those six trips, which included a loss at Leicester. The Foxes have won each of the last three meetings between the pair at the King Power, while Brendan Rodgers has seen his men start with two wins and seven goals in the Premier League. That’s their best start since their title-winning campaign.
The hosts are expected to play a strong side this week, with Jamie Vardy’s record against Arsenal likely to prove decisive.
I see Vardy firing Leicester to a victory on Wednesday, with the Foxes worth backing at an attractive price. The Foxes’ home Premier League record against side who finished below them last term was 11 wins, three draws and one defeat. I'm backing Leicester wins.
Leicester City and Arsenal will face off in the third round of the English Football League Cup. Arsenal started the season with a 3-0 win over Fulham, followed by a less convincing home win over West Ham. Leicester also kicked off their season by beating West Bromwich. This was followed by a 4-2 home win over Burnley. Leicester is unbeaten in their last three games against Arsenal.
Given the number of matches played by both teams and the density of games, there is a chance that the teams will not field their star players.
I guess Leicester will win.
