Prediction… Leicester 1-0 Arsenal
Off the back of two defeats to Crystal Palace and Wolves, this fixture is similarly troublesome for an Arsenal side whose away form has seriously damaged their top-four hopes.
Surprising defeats away from home to sides such as Southampton, West Ham and Everton over the course of the season have been in stark contrast to impressive wins at home against the likes of Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United.
Leicester, meanwhile, have been impressive since Brendan Rodgers took charge at the beginning of March. Since that defeat to Watford, they’ve won four in six and are set to finish in the top half of the table.
In the game at The Emirates earlier this season, Leicester dominated the first half before Mesut Ozil inspired an Arsenal comeback. This time round, Leicester are likely to prove more resilient on their home turf. It’ll be tight, as Unai Emery and Arsenal fans alike will demand a response after their wretched display at Wolves, but Leicester will nick it. 1-0.
