Overview
Arsenal just had an unfortunate draw against Man City in round 5 of the Premier League when they conceded a goal in the 90+8 minute. However, this result is still an acceptable achievement for coach Mikel Arteta's team.
Since the beginning of the season, the Gunners have maintained an unbeaten record in all competitions. Among them, we must mention the solidity of Arsenal's defense at the present time.
Arsenal will return to Emirates Stadium to welcome Leicester in round 6 of the Premier League. The "Foxes" have yet to taste victory after being promoted this season. After 5 matches, they have lost 2 matches and only had 3 draws. Therefore, compared to The Gunners, Leicester is clearly inferior in every aspect.
With the difference in scores between the two teams, Leicester's chances of creating a surprise away from home are slim. This could be an easy win for Arsenal.
In terms of head-to-head record, Arsenal are also completely superior to their opponents. The Foxes' most recent victory over The Gunners took place in October 2020, with the only goal scored by Jamie Vardy.
Human resources situation
Arsenal have a number of injury concerns, with Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu all ruled out. There are also doubts over the fitness of David Raya and Jurrien Timber, with Neto likely to make his debut in goal.
Despite being sent off against Man City last weekend, Leandro Trossard could start against Leicester. The Belgian finished his one-match suspension for the Carabao Cup tie against Bolton.
Leicester will be without Jannik Vestergaard, with manager Steve Cooper confirming the Danish defender has an ankle problem. Paton Daka and Jakub Stolarczyk will also miss the trip to north London.
Expected lineup:
Arsenal: Neto, Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori, Partey, Rice, Saka, Trossard, Martinelli, Havertz.
Leicester: Hermansen, Justin, Faes, Okoli, Kristiansen, Skipp, Winks, Ndidi, Ayew, Mavididi, Vardy.
The match between Arsenal and Leicester takes place at 9:00 p.m. on September 28 (Vietnam time).
