Pre-match buzz
Sky Sports has an interesting piece of trivia: "Arsenal is unbeaten in their last 27 home meetings with Leicester in all competitions (Wins- 20 Draw-7), since a 0-2 loss in September 1973." Now, that's a record Arteta would prefer keeping intact. However, the team's controlled style of football and Pierre- Emerick Aubameyang's dip in form has been talking points ahead of the game. They will be jeem to shrug off the errors they made and will hopefully start with Thomas Partey this time around.
The midfielder was mighty impressive in their 2-1 EFL win against Rapid Wien and the side is further bolstered by the Willian and Dani Ceballos in line for a return. Meanwhile, Leicester will be sweating over Jamie Vardy's fitness after he missed the last two games with a calf issue. He remains a doubtful starter for Sunday and everything depends on the assessment. Caglar Soyuncu and Youri Tielemans are down with groin injuries, Daniel Amartey (thigh) is out and Ricardo Pereira (Achilles) is on the injury roster as well.
Who will win?
Despite being riddled with injuries, Brendan Rodgers' Leicester has been a promising unit and will look to maintain their winning run as well. However, a rejuvenated Arsenal just might take this away from them if Aubameyang comes back to form.
