Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Leicester City will be aiming to recover from a heart-breaking FA Cup loss to Manchester United when they take on Arsenal on Matchday 25. The Foxes are stuck in the relegation zone with only 17 points on their account and they face yet another uphill task against Mikel Arteta’s troops. Top scorer Jamie Vardy should be fit for Saturday’s clash, while Ricardo Pereira remains in the recovery room.
The Gunners, on the other hand, are eager to melt Liverpool’s advantage in the Premier League standings and given their positive head-to-head record against Leicester City, away win should be considered. It has to be noted that the Gunners have defeated the Foxes in each of their last six meetings in the national championship. All Ben White, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Jesus, and Takehiro Tomiyasu miss out with injuries for the visiting team. Defender Riccardo Calafiori should once again start from the bench.
