ARSENAL will be aiming to make it five Premier League wins on the spin when they entertain Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Mikel Arteta's men enter the weekend occupying the final Champions League spot, one point clear of Manchester United having played three games fewer.
With no European or domestic cup competitions to contend with for the rest of the season, the Gunners will be fully focused on making a return to Europe's top table next term.
Last time out, Arsenal's youngsters stole the show in a 3-2 victory at Watford but they will know a tougher test awaits them when Leicester come calling.
The Foxes have been some way short of a top-four challenging team this season, but they will be feeling much better about themselves following back-to-back wins in the Premier League, the most recent of which brought up one of my bets.
Brendan Rodgers side will be further buoyed following a 2-0 Europa Conference League over Rennes on Thursday night so they will be keen to keep the feelgood flowing when they roll into the capital this weekend.
Outright Betting
Arsenal, who boast the third-best home record in the Premier League this season, enter this encounter as 8/15 (SBK) favourites.
Leicester are 27/5 (SBK) outsiders to make it back-to-back road wins in the Premier League for the first time this season while a point apiece can be backed at a best 37/10 (SBK).
Betting Angles
Arsenal look a bit too short to side with at the above-mentioned odds but combining over one Arsenal goal with at least one Leicester card will bring about a backable 4/5 (Bet 365) Bet Builder.
As already mentioned, Mikel Arteta's men have produced the majority of their work at their capital headquarters this season, banking 29 points from a possible 39 , tasting defeat just twice.
The Gunners have bagged a brace in eight of their 13 league games at home – a tally only topped by Liverpool and Manchester City – and it's also worth noting that the hosts have hit two or more goals in five of their last seven Premier League outings at the Emirates.
Whilst Leicester finally appear to be moving in the right direction, their defensive issues and vulnerability remains a major concern, with only six teams conceding more than the Foxes thus far.
Brendan Rodgers side have posted just one Premier League clean sheet when playing away from their King Power this term, shipping 2+ strikes in a sizeable eight of those 12 road trips.
With that in mind, coupled with the fact that the aforementioned Bet Builder has copped in six of Arsenal's last nine league games, I'm more than happy to support the same wager in North London this weekend.
Elsewhere, I'll also dip into the team corners market and take the 4/5 available with Bet 365 on Leicester to hit over three corners at the Emirates.
The Foxes are averaging 5.12 flag kicks per-game this season, a figure that increases ever so slightly to 5.50 when on their travels, not to mention they have covered the 4+ line in each of their last seven league games, one of which was at Anfield.
