Turning their attention back to Premier League duties on Saturday lunchtime, Arsenal will travel to the King Power when they meet Leicester.
Watching their EFL Cup adventure come to an end last time out as they fell to a 4-0 aggregate defeat against Newcastle, Mikel Arteta’s men are desperately seeking an immediate response.
Enduring what has become a real struggle since making their Premier League return this season, the Foxes have only continued to show a string of issues on either side of opening the New Year.
Two sides who find themselves battling it out at opposite ends of the Premier League table, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Leicester vs Arsenal bet builder tips.
A golden chance for the Gunners
Turning their attention back to Premier League duties this weekend, Arsenal will know that their fading title ambitions are hanging in the balance on Saturday lunchtime.
However, although Arteta’s camp might have suffered major EFL Cup frustration away at St. James’ Park last time out, the Gunners should be smelling a golden opportunity here.
Last seen in Premier League action storming their way to a sensational 5-1 romp against Manchester City, Saturday’s guests are rightfully pencilled in as a landslide contender at the King Power.
Landing an action-packed 4-2 win when they welcomed Leicester to north London for their reverse meeting on September 28th, they have won each of their last six showdowns against the relegation scrappers by an aggregate score of 16-5.
Likewise, Arteta’s side have won all of their previous four consecutive trips to the King Power across all competitions and will simply be looking to avoid what would be an infamous banana skin here.

The pressure mounts on van Nistelrooy’s shoulders
While Leicester might have mounted a dramatic second-half comeback away at Tottenham last month as they dragged themselves to a 2-1 victory in north London, it appears that was just a minor boost for Saturday’s hosts.
Suffering FA Cup heartbreak away at Manchester United last weekend as they fell to a controversial 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford, the pressure on Ruud van Nistelrooy’s shoulders is once again at a boiling point.
Getting February underway with a 4-0 drumming at the hands of Everton, the Foxes are pencilled in as a leading contender to be hit with an immediate Championship return.
Getting Saturday’s showdown underway sat in the relegation zone, Leicester have lost nine of their previous 10 meetings against Premier League opposition.
It should also be highlighted, van Nistelrooy’s downbeat squad have lost each of their last four consecutive Premier League showdowns at the King Power.

Chances could come thick and fast
While Arsenal might have drawn a blank away at Newcastle on February 5th, the Gunners’ attacking superstars should be confident of cashing in on a leaky Leicester defence on Saturday lunchtime.
Putting five past defending champions Manchester City earlier in the month, Arsenal have recorded 49 Premier League goals this season and only Liverpool can boast a better attacking return.
Notching 16 goals in their six consecutive victories against the Foxes, it should also be noted that Arsenal have recorded 16 goals in their previous six Premier League matchups away from the Emirates.
Getting February underway with a nightmare 4-0 drumming against Everton, Leicester have continued to gain a reputation for their glaring defensive issues this season.
Conceding 53 Premier League goals in their 24 top-flight appearances, Saturday’s hosts hold the second-worst defensive tally among England’s elite.
