Both Leicester City and Arsenal are coming from the Europa League where they had mixed results ahead of their faceoff at the King Power Stadium on Sunday. Leicester, the hosts have 49 points, in third place while Arsenal have 34 points, in 11th place. Leicester will hope to quickly forget about their loss at home and elimination from the Europa League when they take on Arsenal. Both sides badly need the points, and Leicester will be hoping they can keep them, as they look to stage a challenge for the title, being 10 points below the leaders. The Foxes have three wins in the last five matches against Arsenal and will be right to view this as a winnable fixture. Jamie Vardy has been a key tormentor for Arsenal, with six goals in the last seven meetings. Leicester are unbeaten in their last four league matches, winning three, and have only one loss in the last 12 league matches. They’ve scored multiple goals in six of their last nine league matches but kept only four clean sheets in the last 11. At home, Leicester have three wins in the last four league games and scored two or more in four of the last five. The hosts will hope their poor days at home don’t materialize here, having collected most of their points on the road. They’ve won just six of their 12 home matches in the league, keeping four clean sheets. The brightest performer at home has been Harvey Barnes, who has scored four times in their last five home league games.

Arsenal are coming from a dramatic win over Benfica in the Europa League, bringing to an end a two-game winless run. They haven’t done so well in the league this term, and are the lowest scorers in the top 11. In the last league game, against Manchester City, they were dominated and outclassed as they lost 1-0, the 11th loss of the league campaign. The Gunners are nine points below the Europa League slots and as things stand, they may fail to qualify for Europe. Their season has been highlighted more by a poor goal return, but lately they’ve also had defensive concerns. They have no clean sheet in the last six matches, and just two in 10. In the Premier League, Arsenal have three losses in the last four matches and failed to score in three of the last five. They also have back to back away losses in the league.
