The Emirates Stadium is the venue for Arsenal's Premier League game against Leicester City on Sunday. Arsenal want to get their league campaign back on track after a demoralising 1-0 defeat to Manchester City last weekend. It was Arsenal's second defeat in three league games, leaving them fifth in the table. Leicester are level on points with Arsenal and one place ahead of them thanks to their superior goal difference. That doesn't mean that everything is rosy with Leicester though. The Foxes have lost their last two league matches without scoring a goal. They face an extended period of time without two first-choice defenders as Soyuncu and Perreira have long injury lay-offs. Brendan Rodgers will be happy that his side picked up a Europa League win in midweek, beating Zorya Luhansk 3-0 at home. Arsenal also won in Europe, coming back from a goal down to beat Rapid Wien in Austria. 

Leicester have enjoyed recent away successes with two successive wins on their travels. However, their away form was so poor prior to these wins that it derailed their Champions League qualification bid last season. Leicester went eight games in a row without recording league victory on the road before opening this campaign with a win at West Brom. However, this record does not compare to their bogey run away to Arsenal. The Foxes have failed to win their last 23 games at Arsenal, a run that started in 1973. This time around, they face an Arsenal side unbeaten at home in the league in 2020. Arsenal have won nine and lost none of their 11 league fixtures at the Emirates this year. We think that the Gunners are good value an under-strength Leicester side.
