Arsenal vs Leicester prediction: How will Premier League fixture play out tonight?

Arsenal host Leicester City on Sunday night, with both teams aiming to break into the top four of the Premier League.

The Foxes almost managed it last season before a late loss of form, and injuries are hampering their chances of consistency in 2020/21, too.

A big win at Man City has been followed up by successive league defeats, but Leicester did win in the Europa League in midweek.

FA Cup winners Arsenal also took a European victory, and they’ll be hoping to edge ahead of their rivals with a win here.

What is the team news?

Arsenal have the same long-term absentees as recently in Pablo Mari, Calum Chambers, Rob Holding and Gabriel Martinelli. Dani Ceballos and Willian are the doubts.

For Leicester the big worry is Jamie Vardy and his ongoing calf issues. Ricardo Pereira, Caglar Soyuncu and Wilf Ndidi are unavailable for the foreseeable future.

Predicted line-ups

ARS: Leno; Luiz, Magalhaes, Tierney; Bellerin, Thomas, Xhaka, Maitland-Niles; Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

LEI: Schmeichel; Castagne, Fofana, Evans, Justin; Mendy; Ayoze, Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes; Iheanacho.

Odds

Arsenal - 28/29

Draw - 39/14

Leicester - 3/1

Prediction

Much might hinge on the fitness levels of Leicester pair Jamie Vardy and James Maddison, with the latter returning to scoring form in midweek. If neither are at 100 per cent, Arsenal should have enough firepower of their own even without Willian to edge the win. Arsenal 2-1 Leicester
