Notable information
Arsenal are currently second in the Premier League table, 7 points behind leaders Liverpool. They are the most likely opponent to compete for the championship with Liverpool this season.
The Gunners are enjoying their best unbeaten run in the Premier League in 14 years. They have not lost in their last 14 matches.
The last time Arsenal had a longer unbeaten streak was from December 2010 to April 2011, with 16 consecutive matches without a loss under Wenger.
In contrast to Arsenal, Leicester City are in the relegation zone, with a position of 18/20. Arsenal have a very good head-to-head record against relegated sides, having won 21 of their previous 25 games (D3 L1). The only loss in that run came against Everton in February 2023 (0-1).
Kai Havertz's injury is a headache for coach Mikel Arteta. Despite mixed opinions, the German striker has scored and assisted in six different Premier League games since the start of last season, including the most recent 5-1 win over Man City.
Leicester City will face many difficulties despite playing at home. Since Ruud van Nistelrooy was appointed in December 2024, only Southampton have lost more games (9 games) and accumulated fewer points (4 points) than the Foxes (Leistics City' nickname). The King Power team has only won 2 matches, drawn 1 and lost 8 matches, earning 7 points.
Loose defense is a big problem for Leicester, who have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 17 Premier League games, since a 1-0 win over Bournemouth in October 2024. Leicester City have conceded 53 goals this season, only less than Southampton (54 goals).
Leicester have lost their last four home Premier League games without scoring. Only Sheffield Wednesday in 1919-1920, Birmingham City in 1921-1922 and Norwich City in 2019-2020 have lost five consecutive home games without scoring a single goal in a season in the top flight of England.
A ray of hope for the home team this weekend is veteran striker Jamie Vardy, if he is healthy enough to play. The former England striker has scored more Premier League goals against Arsenal than any other opponent (11). Only Harry Kane (14) and Wayne Rooney (6) have scored more goals against the Gunners in the Premier League.
