Leicester City and Arsenal are both riding high in the Premier League with their 2nd and 6th positions respectively. Expect a great game!
It's no vacation for neither Leicester City nor Arsenal as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Leicester City form and stats
5-1-0 is the performance here at King Power Stadium so far in the Premier League, giving Leicester City a total of 16 from their 6 games here. Outstanding results! The team is doing great wherever they are playing as Leicester City has won four games in a row. The Liverpool match was the last time out without a victory. Ever since the Wolverhampton Wanderers game Leicester City has been unbeatable here at King Power Stadium producing five straight wins.
Leicester City's previous game was a Premier League match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Arsenal (placed 6th). The home side are looking to build on that result. A strong away win before that one, visiting Crystal Palace and winning 2-0.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Leicester City have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found ten games) they have won 5 times, drawn 2 and lost 3.
Goals decide football matches and Leicester City are scoring many of them at home; 14 on target from 6 league matches. Leicester City have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 3 goals.
Arsenal form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Arsenal so far with only 5 points returning home. The records show 1-2-3 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Arsenal have lost on their last two travels.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Arsenal, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Leicester City (placed 2nd). Before that, Arsenal travelled to Vitoria Guimaraes and returned home with a draw after the Europa League game finished 1-1.
We have checked recent matches where Arsenal have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were W2-D1-L2.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Arsenal as they have only managed to score 5 times from 6 away games in the league. Arsenal have conceded 9 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Leicester City - Arsenal 2-0. As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's 3 Leicester City victories, 1 draw and 6 Arsenal wins. 7 of these games ended with three goals or more, 3 matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
