Duel bench between Brendan Rodgers and Mikel Arteta at the King Power Stadium. Leicester and Arsenal come from playing European competition with mixed luck. With different goals in Premier League, both teams face this Sunday at 13:00 CET.
Exciting match for the spectator’s enjoyment this Sunday between Leicester City and Arsenal at the King Power Stadium. After a week with European commitments, both teams face this weekend’s meeting with ambition. On the side of Leicester, to continue to maintain Champions League positions and Arsenal to continue adding points in the table with the intention of approaching European positions, if they do not want to detach from that fight.
Arteta’s side have only won one game in their last five Premier League games. He comes from losing 0-1 to Manchester City with an early goal from Sterling. This bad moment of the North London team is what they try to control both from the offices and from the pitch, since there are 9 points that separate the team from the first 5 placements, and not adding 3 in 3 is them weighing down the options of catching up with their rivals.
Arsenal has just suffered a pass to the Eighths of the Europa League, after defeating a combative Benfica 3-2 (4-3 aggregate) thanks to a double from its maximum reference, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and an extraordinary performance by Bukayo Saka, who is doing a season to frame.
The host of the match, Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City, faces the match somewhat crestfallen. To the surprise of many, Leicester City were knocked out of the Europa League by a surprising and combative Slavia of Prague 0-2. Everyone placed the English team in higher rounds and why not, capable of fighting for their first European title. But Maddison’s loss had too much to do with the team’s offensive play, and as a result, the real options deteriorated.
Focusing on tomorrow’s game on Sunday, the team will try to continue with the good dynamics that the last games have given, since it has not known defeat for more than four days, thus maintaining the pulse with Manchester United in the second position of the table. We will see if the Scottish coach still does not have James Maddison, the great doubt to receive Arsenal.
With all this, it will be a meeting not to miss a minute between two teams that try to be owners of the ball by controlling possession from their defensive lines.
Possible lineups:
Leicester City: Schmeichel; Castagne, Evans, Söyüncü, Thomas; Ndidi, Tielemans, Choudhury; Barnes, Ünder y Vardy.
Arsenal: Leno; Bellerín, David Luiz, Gabriel, Tierney; Xhaka, Ceballos; Aubameyang, Odegaard, Saka; Lacazette.
