Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the English Premier League match.
Leicester City produced a brief moment of magic in their stunning win over Tottenham Hotspur, but aside from those five brilliant minutes, their overall form remains poor. Arsenal, in the midst of a title race, won’t be as forgiving.
Leicester City
Following the shock win over Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City returned to reality with back-to-back away defeats. The most alarming result came against Everton (0:4), where they conceded in the first minute, the last minute, and stoppage time in both halves. Their lack of concentration at the beginning and end of matches remains a major weakness, making survival in the league an uphill battle.
Arsenal
When these sides met at the Emirates earlier this season, Leicester City were on course for a shock draw before Arsenal’s late double in the 94th and 99th minutes sealed a 4:2 win. Even in that match, Leicester conceded a crucial goal in first-half stoppage time (45+1), highlighting their tendency to switch off at key moments.
Leicester City vs Arsenal Prediction
Leicester’s defensive lapses will eventually catch up with them, especially against a title-contending Arsenal side. Expect Arsenal to take full control in the second half, when the hosts are most vulnerable.
