The season is still fairly new and the Premier League table has to be read with caution. So far Arsenal find themselves in 5th position and Leicester City are placed 4th.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Arsenal and Leicester City.

Arsenal form and stats

As mentioned below, Arsenal are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 2 Premier League games.

Arsenal enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Rapid Wien's place. The match ended 2-1 with David Luiz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scoring. A Premier League defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Manchester City.

Manager M. Arteta Amatriain felt very clever after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the winning goal against Rapid Wien, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 61st minute.

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Arsenal handle that role? We have found four games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are two wins, one draw and one defeat.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Arsenal, as the Europa League home game vs Dundalk is only four days away.

At Emirates Stadium, Arsenal has the goal stats of 4-2 (for/against) from 2 league fixtures.

Leicester City form and stats

Leicester City are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels in the Premier League.

Leicester have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 182 minutes ago. Y. Tielemans was the goal scorer.

Leicester City are travelling after their nice 3-0 home win in the Europa League against Zorya. A loss against Aston Villa was the result prior to that, in a Premier League home game.

Leicester are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, zero draws and one defeat. From a total of one match.

The schedule is very tough for Leicester now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Europa League game at AEK Athens is waiting in only four days.

Leicester City have the goal stats of 8-2 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: five wins for Arsenal, two draws and three wins for Leicester City. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
