Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Arsenal will look to build on a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace when they host Leicester City to their Emirates Stadium on Saturday. The Gunners impressed in the season opener, but they do not want to stop now. Despite failing to find the net on his official Arsenal debut, Gabriel Jesus will continue to lead the line for the capital club, while there are no fresh injury worries in Mikel Arteta’s team.
The Foxes, on the other hand, played out a 2-2 draw with Brentford in the opening match of the season. Brendan Rodgers continues to rely on Jamie Vardy up front, and he is likely to stick to the 3-5-1-1 formation. The likes of Harvey Barnes, Ryan Bertrand, and Ricardo Pereira are sidelined with injuries for the away team. Anyhow, home win should be considered as over the years Arsenal have turned their Emirates Stadium into a real fortress.
Highlighted Player (Alexandre Lacazette):
Alexandre Lacazette is a hometown boy of Lyon, a powerful striker who went through the youth ranks of the French side to become one of the most important players for Les Gones. The 25-year-old forward was also a member of all France national team selections becoming a European champion at the age of 19 by scoring the winner in the final against Spain.
This goal gave him a reputation of a big game player, one he went on to uphold on various occasions at his club. Lacazette is a hard working forward an accomplished finisher of the ball able to score from different positions. The most prolific striker in his side and among the top ones in the Ligue 1, Alexandre Lacazette scored more than 20 league goals last two seasons on a trot.
Constantly linked with a move away from Lyon, Alexandre Lacazette refuses to speak about anything other than his football and is leaving all the talk to the football pitch.
