Arsenal: The Tale of Strikes and Survival
Arsenal concluded last season with a six-game winning streak and remain undefeated thus far this season. They began with a 2-0 victory against Wolves, took an impressive 2-0 win at Aston Villa, and then drew 1-1 at home against Brighton, despite playing with ten men. Following three more challenging matches, Arsenal victoriously emerged by a slim 1-0 margin at Tottenham, despite being outshot 15-7. The team played another defensive game and drew 0-0 at Atalanta, with only six shots from Mikel Arteta's side. Last week, despite being outshot 28-1 in the second half, Arsenal managed to snatch a 2-2 draw at Manchester City. In a brief respite, they easily defeated Bolton 5-1 in the Carabao Cup.
Arsenal's Injury Report: Forecasting the Lineup
Mikel Arteta will be without Mikel Merino and Martin Odegaard in midfield, but Leandro Trossard returns after serving his suspension. Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu are both out for the game in defense. Ben White and David Raya are expected to recover from minor injuries and be available. Raheem Sterling may start ahead of Gabriel Martinelli, and there's a possibility of 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri making his first start in midfield after scoring two goals against Bolton.
Arsenal's Perspective: A Win and a Strong Performance
Arsenal is determined to make their presence felt and will settle for nothing less than a win and an impressive performance against Leicester.
Premier League:Wager Now!## Leicester: Can they Thwart the Gunners?
Leicester was promoted as Championship winners last season, but their return to the top-flight has been tough. They fought their way to a 1-1 draw against Tottenham in their inaugural game, followed by a 2-1 loss at Fulham. A 4-0 win against Tranmere Rovers in the Carabao Cup offered a modicum of relief. Leicester was outplayed in a 2-1 home loss to Aston Villa, then surrendered a 2-0 lead at Crystal Palace in a game that coach Steve Cooper described as "feeling like a defeat." They earned another point last week with a 1-1 draw against Everton. Another draw in midweek (0-0 at Walsall) was followed by a win on penalty kicks.
Leicester's Injury Woes: Navigating the Lineup
Defender Jannick Vestergaard, striker Patson Daka, and goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk are unavailable for the game, while Steve Cooper made ten changes in midweek, and most of those players are expected to return. Facundo Buonanotte and Bilal El Khannous are competing for the number ten role, while Oliver Skipp may play as a third defensive midfielder. Jamie Vardy should lead the line over Odsonne Edouard.
Leicester's Ambitions: Playing the Long Game
Under the guidance of Steve Cooper, who has experience in relegation battles, Leicester will likely take a practical approach. They will attempt to deter Arsenal and keep the game close, hoping to secure a point by playing a slow and cautious game. If they find themselves trailing, they may focus on minimizing the scoreline instead.
