Leicester City form and stats

Leicester City have collected 19 points from their Premier League home games so far after 6-1-5.

Leicester's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-2 versus Slavia Praha. In the game before, an away victory in the Premier League match versus Aston Villa with a 2-1 scoreline.

This is expected to be a close game, with Leicester perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Leicester City as a small favourite), we find seven games. Leicester City has won three of these, drawn three and lost one.

Leicester are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Burnley awaits in three days.

The Leicester fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 19 goals in 12 league matches. On the other hand, Leicester have conceded 16 goals.

Arsenal form and stats

5-1-6 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Arsenal in their Premier League matches away. Arsenal seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The supporters enjoyed Arsenal's previous game versus Benfica, a Europa League 3-2 win played at home. A loss against Manchester City was the result prior to that, in a Premier League home game.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Arsenal playing away and similar expectations, we found seven relevant matches. Results were three Arsenal wins, two draws and two defeats.

The visiting Arsenal have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 15 goals from 12 games. Arsenal have conceded 12 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Arsenal - Leicester 0-1 played earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Leicester City won four games, two matches ended with a draw and Arsenal has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six
