Arsenal vs Leicester City: Prediction: Who will win this match?
Arsenal, now under their manager Mikel Arteta, after bringing some fresh and experienced players to the team is finally looking like a well-shaped and balanced team. With their new signing Gabriel Jesus they can be considered as a serious contender for the Premier League top 4. In their opening match they beat Crystal Palace away from home with 2 goals to nil. On the other side, Leicester City are struggling to find their form. They, in their last match, bottled the lead of 2 goals against Brentford in the second half.
Both the teams have some quality players up front so we can expect goals to be scored at both end of the pitch. But after looking at their form and recent performances, Arsenal can be the one to grab the victory.
