Big Match Breakdown: Arsenal v Leicester City

Odds and in-depth look at tonight’s Prem clash

The Premier League action continues tonight, as Leicester City make the trip to North London to face Arsenal.

Unai Emery’s Gunners are in sparkling form, and victory tonight would mark a 10th on the spin in all competitions. Meanwhile, the Foxes have claimed victory in three of their last four away games.

Everything points to an exciting contest, and ahead of kick-off, we’ve got another Big Match Breakdown for you…

Head-to-Head

Arsenal have been the dominant force in this fixture’s history, winning 65 clashes to Leicester’s 30 – with 44 draws in the mix.

The East Midlands outfit had gone more than 18 years without a victory over the Gunners ahead of the pair’s last meeting, in May. But Claude Puel’s men ripped up the history books with a 3-1 triumph.

Likely XIs

Emery set his side up in a 4-4-2 last time out, and it paid off in spectacular fashion. The Gunners thumped Fulham 5-1 at Craven Cottage – the hosts’ heaviest defeat in over two years.

With eight days rest since their last clash, and no enforced changes a similar line-up is likely. It’s likely to be Alex Iwobi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan behind a front two of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Foxes are consistently a 4-3-2-1 side. Wilfred Ndidi and Nampalys Mendy are the midfield backbone, sitting behind a trio offering supply to the lethal Jamie Vardy.
