Leicester Vs Arsenal Head to Head: The SportsRush brings you the head to head statistics between Leicester City and Arsenal.
Arsenal will desire for a victory after losing their way against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the midweek. The Gunners went 3-1 down to Nuno Santo’s side, but they will aim to bring all three points on Sunday when they take on Leicester City at King Power Stadium.
The foxes are totally on the front foot following the managerial appointment by luring in Brendan Rodgers. Leicester have won five games, drawn twice, and lost once in the last eight games under the new boss. Even though they have not played a top side under Rodgers, they have the capacity to cause havoc to Arsenal’s defence. With the likes of Jamie Vardy, Youri Teiliemans finding their feet once again, it will be an interesting game as the hosts fight for a place in the Europa League.
Unai Emery’s side have been miserable on the road, to say the least. They have picked up just 21 points away from this season which is the main concern for the Spanish International. Pierre Emerick Aubameyang is fighting for his fitness which will enable Alexandre Lacazette to start up front. The Gunners have the superior midfield, but they could struggle against Wilfred Ndidi, James Maddison, and Youri Teilemans. Vardy will be a major threat for Arsenal in the counter-attack.
In this article, we shall look at the head-to-head statistics between Leicester City and Arsenal.

Recent Form
Leicester City have reawakened since Brendan Rodgers has taken over the club in February end. The One-time Premier League Champions failed to beat Newcastle United and West Ham United in their last two games, but their forward Jamie Vardy has been scoring goals to put the defensive limbos away.
On the other hand, Arsenal have won one game from their last three and the only goal in that victory against Watford came through a howler, thanks to Pierre Emerick Aubameyang pressing higher up the pitch to slot the ball inside the back of the net. They could be without their star forward up front, but the Gunners have enough quality at stake to thrive.
