Arsenal vs Leicester Match Preview

Arsenal comes from three consecutive wins, in their most recent one, they prevailed 2-0 over Wolves last Saturday away from home. This good streak of the 'Gunners' has significantly increased their hopes for a European ticket since they are now 3 points away from the 6th position. Meanwhile, they won over Sheffield United and now they will face Manchester City in the FA Cup semi-finals.

Midfielder N. Pépé is back in contention after missing the previous game. On the other hand, unavailable remain the injured goalkeeper B. Leno, defender C. Chambers, as well as striker Martinelli.

Leicester got their first win since the resumption of the Premier League, prevailing 3-0 at home against Crystal Palace last Saturday. After this victory, Leicester remained in the 3rd spot of the standings, having a 5-point difference from Manchester United, who virtually remains the only threat for the 'Foxes' this season for a top-4 spot that gives a ticket to next season's Champions League. 

Midfielder J. Maddison remains doubtful, actually, he did not play against Crystal Palace either. A. Pérez and B. Chilwell left the pitch injured in last Saturday's game and their presence today is a last-minute decision. Defender R. Pereira remains anavailable.

Their most recent h2h encounters at the Emirates Stadium indicate that the home team has the upper hand here, although I cannot consider the home advantage as a real factor in this one since the Premier League games are held behind closed doors in these days. I expect to see some goals in this game, my last call is Over 2.5 goals to be scored, offered at quite decent odds.
