Both teams lost their opening games with just a goals’ margin but Arsenal conceded four goals three of those in just a space of 14 minutes, no doubt Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech is one of the best in football currently but, one has to wonder how the four goals went passed him.


On the other hand, they were of high quality and Arsenal’s defense has a hand in it as well. The fielding of players is another reason as we saw their playmaker Alexis Sanchez played on a wrong side as a lead striker instead of giving him that midfield free-role.


Wenger will definitely speak to his boys on how important this game is - having lost their opening game at home to Liverpool however, Leicester also lost their first game away to newly promoted Hull City and they are equally looking for a win with this being their first game at home.


Leicester’s defense has proved to be more solid with the likes of Wes Morgan and Robert Huth closing on the back line, on the other side Arsenal is still struggling with their new signing Rob Holding still fighting to fit into the team but, Nacho Monreal and Hector Bellerin will have to step up and cover Jamie Vardy - Leicester’s last season top scorer who was also second in the league with 19 goals, and Riyad Mahrez who scored 16 goals last season not forgetting he also named Premier League Player Of The Year in the process.


Arsenal’s top scorer last season was Olivier Giroud with 12 Goals who wasn’t even considered to be on the bench in Arsenal’s opening game.


In their last six meetings, Arsenal has positive history against Claudio Ranieri’s men, Arsenal have won four out of six games and two draws, Leicester will be looking for their first win against Arsenal in the last six games, most likely Leicester will win this or at best Arsenal may pull out of this with a draw.
