Arsenal will host Leicester City in their first home game of the season. The matchup sees two sides traveling in opposite directions. Arsenal is building towards being a force in the league, with Leicester seemingly on a downward slide live on Kilamity.
Historically, the Gunners have the wood over the Foxes. In their last three league matches against the 2015/16 Premier League champions, Arsenal has scored seven while conceding only once, collecting all nine points along the way.
The last time Arsenal had a better league run over the Foxes was at the turn of the century. They won four in a row across the 1999/00 season. Itβs compounded because Leicester has only won once in their last 25 league away matches against the Gunners. That was in October 2020 when they triumphed 1-0. The Foxes have lost more top division games against Arsenal than any other side.
I am not expecting any major changes from last week as far as the Arsenal starting XI goes. Aaron Ramsdale will start as the goalkeeper. In front of him will be the impressive William Saliba, alongside Gabriel in central defense. Ben White will play 60 minutes at right back, with Oleksandr Zinchenko starting at left back. I think Takehiro Tomiyasu gets half an hour off the bench at right back.
