Arsenal will have a nice opportunity to return to winning ways on Saturday

Arsenal were just seconds away from a huge victory over defending champions Manchester City but super-late John Stones equalizer prevented their Etihad heroics last Sunday.

The Gunners had to settle for a 2-2 draw in a match in which they played the entire second half with ten men on the pitch.

Mikel Arteta’s men allowed 33 shots and David Raya had another incredible performance despite conceding twice on the occasion.

Arsenal are now fourth in the Premier League table but they are still only two points shy of table-toppers.

The Gunners will have a nice opportunity to return to winning ways on Saturday afternoon in the home clash with the recently-promoted Leicester.

Leicester sit 15th in the league standings and they are one of six winless teams in the opening five rounds of the season.

The Foxes played a 1-1 stalemate to direct relegation rivals Everton seven days ago at King Power Stadium. They’ve scored just six goals so far in the season which is not quite promising ahead of the clash with one of the best defensive lines in the nation.

The difference in quality between these two rivals is massive and we can hardly expect anything other than a comprehensive victory for Mikel Arteta and his troops.

Arsenal do miss Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard but they should still have enough to get past Leicester.

The visitors have only lost two of five opening matches but they were outplayed by their rivals in every single affair so far in the campaign.

The Foxes shipped at least two goals in each of the maiden two away outings in the league despite facing the likes of Fulham and Crystal Palace in the process.
