Arsenal vs Leicester City

, KO: 15:00 Aug 13, 2022, Emirates Stadium
Leicester City

ARSENAL will be looking to make it two wins from two in the Premier League when they entertain Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Mikel Arteta's men hit the ground running after they claimed a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace on the opening night of the season.

That victory coupled with some impressive summer business has brought a real sense of optimism back to the red half of North London.

There is no doubt that there is a feel good factor around the club at the moment and the Gunners will be hoping to build more momentum when Leicester come calling.

There is no getting away from the fact that it was a disappointing league season for Leicester last time around as they struggled to hit the same heights that they did in previous campaigns.

The Foxes threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Brentford in their maiden league match of the season and they should expect little respite when they make the trip to the capital this weekend.

Outright Betting

Arsenal triumphed in both Premier League meetings between the pair last season and the same outcome on Saturday is heavily fancied at 1/2 with SBK.

Leicester City, who triumphed in just one of their final seven top-flight road trips last term, arrive in North London as 6/1 underdogs with William Hill while the draw is an unfancied 16/5 with Boylesports.

Betting Angles

Arsenal look a bit too short to side with at the above-mentioned odds but combining Arsenal to win, over one match goal and at least one match card will bring about a backable 4/5 (Bet 365) Bet Builder.

Mikel Arteta's men produced the majority of their best work at their capital headquarters last season, banking 41 points from a possible 57, tasting defeat on just four occasions.

It's also worth noting the Gunners bagged a brace in 12 of their 19 league games at home last term – a tally only topped by heavyweights Liverpool and Manchester City

That does not bode well for a Leicester side that posted a paltry one clean sheet across their 19 Premier League road trips last season, shipping multiple goals in no fewer than 11 of those away matches.

What's more, that defensive fragility has already reared its head this season, and as such, I'm more than happy to side with an Arsenal victory in a match that features over one goal, but to boost the price, I'll also throw a minimum of one match booking into the mix.

Although referee Darren England is not exactly renowned for being card-happy, he did flash at least one card in 15 of his 16 top-flight assignments last season.

Elsewhere, I'll also dip into the team corners market and take the 10/11 available with Bet 365 on Leicester to hit over three corners at the Emirates.

The Foxes averaged a shade under five flag kicks per 90 minutes on their travels last term, not to mention they covered the 4+ line at this venue in March's corresponding fixture between the pair.
