Leicester vs Arsenal Tips
- Jamie Vardy to Score: 15/4 @ bet365
- Boubakary Soumare to Be Carded & Leandro Trossard to Score: 8/1 @ BetMGM
Tip 1
Jamie Vardy has been declared available for Saturday’s lunchtime game and can add to his PL tally of seven and his campaign total of eight for the Foxes this season.
Arsenal are Vardy’s favourite career opponent, having netted in 11 of 17 encounters with the North Londoners, and sitting third to only Harry Kane (14) and Wayne Rooney (12) for goals scored against the Gunners.
He’s breached the Spurs goal both home and away during this campaign, as well as strikes against both Brighton and Forest since returning to the promised land.
Tip 2
Boubakary Soumare has picked up eight yellows this season for the relegation candidates, being cautioned in home matches against Chelsea, Bournemouth, Forest, Brighton, Man City and Aston Villa to indicate that he plays a hefty role in trying to contain the division’s better teams.
Leandro Trossard is set to be the beneficiary of Kai Havertz’s injury as Mikel Arteta looks to fill the vacant centre forward gap in his team until the end of the season.
Trossard has five goals this term and the shot-happy forward will see a lot more goalmouth action as a striker than he would out wide in games like this.
The Belgian has three goal contributions in his last four league outings and Leicester’s leaky defence doesn’t look like letting up during Arsenal’s visit.
Leicester Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
The Foxes will still be reeling from how Harry Maguire’s last-gasp winner at Old Trafford escaped a VAR overruling to knock Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side out of the FA Cup.
The hosts have passed Jamie Vardy, Jannik Vestergaard and Victor Kristiansen through late fitness tests for this clash, although it comes too soon for both Ricardo Pereira and Issahaku Fatawu.
Leicester Predicted XI: Hermansen; Justin, Vestergaard, Faes, Kristiansen; Ndidi, Soumare; Decordova-Reid, El Khannouss, Ayew; Vardy.
Arsenal Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
The Gunners crashed out of the EFL Cup semi-finals last week after Newcastle doubled their aggregate score from the first leg and booked their place at Wembley in March’s final alongside Liverpool.
Mikel Arteta was dealt another blow to his side’s chances of challenging for the PL title after Kai Havertz was added to the treatment room for the remainder of the season with a hamstring injury. Gabriel Martinelli’s issue is not quite as severe, however, he will still join Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka and Takehiro Tomiyasu on the sidelines.
Arsenal Predicted XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Nwaneri, Trossard, Sterling.
