Hoping to extend their stay at the top of the Premier League table this weekend, Arsenal will travel to Leicester on Saturday afternoon.
LeicesterStarting with the hosts, while Leicester might have opened February amid a stellar purple spot, the Foxes certainly came down to earth last weekend. Putting on a pessimistic display at Old Trafford as they crumbled to a 3-0 draw at the hands of Manchester United, Brendan Rodgers calls for his side to find some much-needed stability. However, while the former Liverpool boss may have seen his side stun many as they claimed a 4-1 loss to Tottenham on February 11, Leicester are still looking firmly over their shoulder at the drop zone. With many around the King Power fearing their side could be dragged into a relegation tumble, the hosts on Saturday showed protracted struggles at the back. In fact, Rodgers' side have failed to collect a single Premier League clean sheet in their previous eight attempts. With that run stretching back to Nov. 12, the Foxes should face another tough test here.

Both having to settle for a place in last weekend's 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford, Leicester could offer Youri Tielemans and Boubakary Soumare a full comeback on Saturday afternoon.
However, still struggling with long-term injury issues, Rodgers will once again be without James Justin's line. This is Johnny Evans and Ryan Bertrand.
ArsenalWhen it comes to the visitors, who managed to pull off a stunning return to winning ways last weekend as they eventually secured a 4-2 victory at Aston Villa, Arsenal will be desperate to maintain this momentum here. Watching Manchester City drop a costly pair of points at Nottingham Forest, Mikel Arteta's side also found a way back to the top of the Premier League table. As the Gunners enjoy what has been a famous campaign in north London, the England heavyweights could smell a chance here. Seeming to have bounced back from their struggles in the February opener, Arteta's youngsters should be boosted by an eye-catching record against potential relegation scrappers. Claiming an action-packed 4-2 victory when they welcomed Leicester to the Emirates on August 13, Arsenal have won each of their last four Premier League meetings against the hosts on Saturday - a run dating back to October 2020. p>
