Arsenal vs Leicester Prediction & Betting Tips (28 September)

Arsenal 4th in the Premier League is the most serious competitor to Manchester City to win the Premier League 2024-25 edition. Indeed, how could it be otherwise? 2nd in the 2023 and 2024 seasons, Arsenal often came close in the important moments of the season, and let City win the title in the final sprint. In this regard, the two teams were gathered at the Etihad Stadium for the clash at the start of the season between the two teams. 2-1 for Arsenal at half-time, just after the stupid red card received by Trossard before returning to the locker room. The Gunners will hold on for more than 50', but not enough to avoid the equalizing goal signed John Stones at the end of the game 2-2. Arsenal may have regrets.

  Leicester City remember its radiant era, the first title in its history won under the leadership of Mahrez, Kanté and Vardy in 2016. Since then Leicester City has played in the Champions League, returning to the Championship last year, before moving up illico presto in order to start this 2024-25 financial year back in the best championship in the world. The “Foxes” have still not won a single match but the content remains encouraging.

Arsenal will have to deal with the suspension of Leandro Trossard. In this regard, Mikel Arteta innovated in his team composition against City with a 4-4-2 in which we found in a 2-man attack, L.Trossard and K.Havertz. A playing system which caused a lot of problems for Tottenham during the 4th day (0-1 victory for the Gunners). With the Belgian's suspension, Arteta could return to a 4-3-3 with Gaby Jesus at the forefront. Scorer in the aerial game against Spurs during Day 4, 2nd scorer for the Gunners against City, still from a corner, Brazilian central Gabriel is on fire. Captain Odegaard, rookie Mikel Merino as well as replacement defenders Tomiyasu, Zinchenko and Tierney are not expected to play this game.

Starting for the first time with the Gunners during the 5th day, the Italian Calafiori made his mark with his equalizing goal from a heavy strike outside the area. At 37 years old, all his teeth, and still with a can of RedBull at half-time, Jamie Vardy has scored 2 goals since the start of the season, like Mavididi, the ex-MHSC player. Overall the recruitment of the “Foxes” was very interesting. Indeed, only the departure of Dewsbury-Hall for Chelsea (35 million euros) is important to highlight while, on the contrary, the reinforcements of El Khannouss (Genk) already starting in the midfield, and Skipp (Tottenham) are appreciable. Leicester remain without potential starter Daka (7 goals and 5 assists in the Championship last year) as well as replacement goalkeeper Stolarczyk, who are injured. Note to complete the 3 assists of Ndidi in the championship the Nigerian international.
