Leicester City vs. Arsenal - Betting preview and odds

September 26, 2015 15:00pm - King Power Stadium

Premier League

The battle for top four positions in the Premier League takes an interesting turn on Saturday as surprise package Leicester City take on Champions League hopefuls Arsenal at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester still unbeaten

With six games of the 2015/16 season played, Claudio Ranieri’s men are holding firm in the top four having yet to lose a game. Last weekend they showed great determination to retrieve a point after going two goals down against winless Stoke City.

Riyad Mahrez was on target yet again in that game while Jamie Vardy added the second in what was a spirited display at the Britannia Stadium . The draw ensured that the Foxes remain just three points behind the league leaders and are the only team in league that can still boast unbeaten status.

Arsenal frustrated

Arsenal have already been beaten twice in the Premier League this season having lost to West Ham on the opening day and to Chelsea last weekend at Stamford Bridge. Events may have conspired against Arsene Wenger’s team last weekend but the Gunner’s boss will want to wipe that experience from his mind as quickly as possible. An away win against a top four rival would be the perfect antidote to last week’s poison.

Team news

Francis Coquelin picked up a knock last week and will face a late fitness test ahead of Saturday’s game while Jack Wilshere, Tomas Rosicky and Danny Welbeck all remain on the Arsenal sick list.

Nathan Dyer is still recovering from injury and may be missing for Leicester while Matthew James remains a long-term absentee.
