In their most recent Premier League match, the Foxes defeated Brentford 2-1, while Mikel Arteta’s team thrashed Aston Villa by three goals to one.
Leicester
• Patson Daka is on standby to replace Jamie Vardy if he is unable to recover from a knee injury in time, though Brendan Rodgers claims the latter is healthy.
• Rodgers’ team will be without four players on Saturday, including Wilfred Ndidi.
• Harvey Barnes, who scored in midweek, may have to settle for a bench spot since Rodgers prefers a front two.
Arsenal
• Pablo Mari, Ben White, Kierney Tierney, and Martin Odegaard have all been affected by an illness bug at Arsenal this week.
• Nuno Tavares performed admirably in Tierney’s absence last time out, and he is more than capable of continuing if the Scot is unavailable.
• We could witness an Arsenal lineup that is unchanged from the 3-1 win over Aston Villa, with Arteta hoping that White will be eligible to start at the back.
Prediction
• Leicester defeated Brighton on penalties in the Carabao Cup on midweek, extending their unbeaten run to five games.
• Leicester’s main issue is keeping goals out on the other end, as they haven’t kept a clean sheet in their past eight Premier League games.
• Arsenal dominated Aston Villa 3-1 in the Premier League last time out, and they backed it up with a straightforward cup win over Leeds in midweek.
• After stumbling starts to the season, both clubs have found the light at the end of the tunnel, and the game should be entertaining.
Match Facts
• In Leicester’s last five games, there have been more than 2.5 goals scored (Premier League).
