Leicester City vs. Arsenal: Match Preview

The Foxes host the Gunners in a crucial Premier League clash

Leicester City will be looking to continue their impressive start to the Premier League season when they host Arsenal at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Brendan Rodgers' side have won three of their opening four games, including a 4-2 victory over Manchester United, and will be confident of causing Arsenal problems.

Arsenal, meanwhile, have also made a solid start to the campaign, winning two of their opening three games. However, they were beaten 3-1 by Liverpool in their last outing and will be looking to bounce back with a victory against Leicester.

Team News

Leicester City will be without the suspended James Maddison, while Wesley Fofana and Ryan Bertrand are both doubtful.

Arsenal have no fresh injury concerns, but Emile Smith Rowe is still out with a groin problem.

Key Battle

The key battle in this match is likely to be between Leicester's James Justin and Arsenal's Bukayo Saka.

Justin has been in excellent form for Leicester this season, and his pace and power will be a threat to Arsenal's defence.

Saka, meanwhile, is one of Arsenal's most dangerous attacking players, and he will be looking to create chances for his team-mates.

Prediction

This is a difficult match to call, but I think Leicester City will just edge it.

The Foxes are in good form and have a strong home record, while Arsenal are still finding their feet under new manager Mikel Arteta.

I predict a 2-1 victory for Leicester City.
