Arsenal vs Leicester prediction
After serving us a classic last weekend at the Etihad last weekend, Arsenal will host Leicester City in the sixth round of the English Premier League at the Emirates. Arsenal against all odds and injury woes were close to pulling off a big victory over reigning champions, Manchester City last Sunday but saw their joy reduced to almost nothing with John Stone’s 98th-minute leveller, which left the Gunners just a point instead of a glorious 3. Regardless of the outcome, Arsenal obviously still deserves some accolades for putting in so much fight despite being reduced to 10 men early in the 1st 45. The aftermath of the draw at Eithad seemed to have a huge effect on The Gunners as they went on to annihilate Bolton in the 3rd round of the EFL Cup.
Leicester on the other hand managed to snatch a draw from what looked like jaws of defeat through Stephy Mavididi’s 73rd-minute flick from Harry Winks’ corner kick. After a blissful year in the Championship, Leicester should honestly be doing more if they want to stay on top come May 2025. At the moment they seem far too close to relegation than salvation by their standards as one-time winners of the Premier League. For the record, they are still yet to win any league game this season (3D and 2L) and they sit at the 15th spot of the table with just 3 points, 2 above relegation. They also managed to progress to the next round of the EFL Cup against Walsall via penalties.
Arsenal have issued a clear intent for the PL Crown and so far they’ve been brilliant in their pursuit for it and clearly they aren’t on the same frequency as their opponents, Leicester who are still scrambling for a steady run of form. It is with this conviction we choose a win for Arsenal in each half of this game as Our main Arsenal vs Leicester prediction, and we recommend the HT/FT – 1/1.
