Leicester v Arsenal

In Saturday’s early kick-off, an invigorated but injury-struck Arsenal side make the journey to Leicester in what represents a crucial match at both ends of the table.

The hosts sit in 18th position, 2 points shy of safety but unaided by the terrible run of form which has ensued. Leicester have lost 8 of their last 9 league games, only picking up points against Arsenal’s city rivals, Tottenham.

By contrast, Arsenal are unbeaten in 14 league games, having won 9 and drawn 5.

⭐ Leicester v Arsenal Best Bet

Nwaneri has been clinical in front of goal this season, scoring 7 times despite making just 7 starts. With Kai Havertz sidelined for the rest of the campaign, his role at Arsenal is set to become even more crucial, and some believe he could even be deployed as a striker in the German’s absence.

His goalscoring numbers are impressive across all competitions, averaging 0.89 goals per game - a figure that climbs to 0.94 in the Premier League. While he’s yet to provide an assist, his creativity is undeniable, often setting up opportunities that his team-mates have failed to convert. He’s also taken on corner-taking duties in Bukayo Saka’s absence, a key role given Arsenal’s strength from set pieces.

Leicester’s defensive struggles further boost Nwaneri’s chances of finding the net. They’ve conceded at least twice in 10 of their last 11 matches, with even QPR putting 2 past them. With an average of 2.2 goals conceded per game in the league, and having shipped 4 against Arsenal in their last meeting, Nwaneri has an excellent opportunity to exploit their defensive weaknesses once again.

🔍 Leicester v Arsenal Players to Watch

🔴 Ethan Nwaneri

Since Saka’s injury, Nwaneri has emerged as Arsenal’s most dynamic attacking threat, quickly establishing himself as a key player, especially amid the team’s ongoing injury struggles up front.

The winger leads all Arsenal players in shots on target per 90 minutes, averaging 1.64 across all competitions.

Against Leicester, he’s likely to see plenty of chances. They’ve allowed an average of 5.8 shots on target per game in the league, with their worst showing coming against Arsenal in the reverse fixture — where Arteta’s side tested the goalkeeper an astonishing 16 times.

💻 Leicester v Arsenal Form and Tactics

1 fairly predictable outcome of this match is Arsenal dominating possession and aiming to break Leicester’s defence down, while the Foxes focus more on counter-attacking.

They did this somewhat successfully last time out as James Justin bagged himself a brace, although Arsenal found the back of the net 4 times to offset the full back’s effort.

Leicester’s midfield has been van Nistelrooy’s biggest problem since joining with the opposition finding it far too easy to bypass and poke holes in, despite their 4-2-3-1 which in an ideal world would condense the area.

Arsenal’s 3 central midfielders will be aided by Myles Lewis-Skelly rotating into this space in an attempt to outnumber the opposition in the middle of the park.

Arsenal boast the best defensive record in the league, having conceded just 22 goals, which should worry Leicester who have the 3rd-worst goalscoring record, averaging 1.04 goals per game.
