Today at 3pm Nigerian time, Arsenal will play Leicester City at the Emirates stadium. The two teams’ matchup promises to be fascinating and thrilling. Last week, Arsenal defeated Crystal Palace to win their most recent English Premier League match, while Leicester City only managed to draw with Brentford.
Arsenal got off to a great league start. Against Crystal Palace, they were absolutely superb. The fact that Mikel Arteta’s team recruited successfully during the summer transfer window was one of their many strong points. The acquisitions of Gabriel Jesus, Olesandr Zinchenko, and William Saliba’s return from loan have significantly improved the team’s appearance both in and out of possession.
In contrast, Leicester City has been unable to add any players to their roster during this summer’s transfer window and is expected to lose Wesley Fofana and Youri Tielemans. Against Brentford, Leicester City blew a two-goal advantage. This indicates that they could need to put in a lot of effort to prevent Arsenal from scoring. The Arsenal attack is one of the best in the league already. The combination of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Gabriel Jesus will be very difficult to handle.

The Arsenal defense was successful in stopping players like Wilfried Zaha, Jordan Ayew, and Odsonne Edouard from scoring, but it is still unclear whether they will be able to stop James Maddison and Jamie Vardy.
The starting lineups for this matchup between Arsenal and Leicester City are identical to those from the first game of the week. Both teams’ midfields are likely to engage in a battle throughout the game. Leicester City is using wing backs when they have three defenders on the field at once. Mikel Arteta’s team will strive to make it two straight victories while Brendan Rodgers’ team will try to win their first game of the year.
