Leicester City vs Arsenal - Premier League Preview and Odds

April 28, 2019 13:00pm - King Power Stadium (Leicester City)

Premier League

Leicester City will continue their quest to finish best of the rest when they host top-four chasing Arsenal at the King Power Stadium on Sunday lunchtime.

The Foxes have picked up 13 points from a possible 21 in the Premier League since Brendan Rodgers took the reins back in March. As a result, they are still in the race for seventh place and can move to within three points of the current occupants of that position, Wolverhampton Wanderers, with a win on Sunday.

The 1-0 loss to Newcastle just over a fortnight ago was their first home defeat under Rodgers. They followed that with a 2-2 draw at West Ham United last time out. With the exception of a sorry spell between the end of December and the end of February, the East Midlands club have performed well on home soil this term, the highlight being a 2-1 win over Manchester City.

Meanwhile, Arsenal will hope to bounce back after three defeats in their last four Premier League matches including the last two in a row. They are one of four clubs fighting for third and fourth place in the league, with none seemingly capable of taking the initiative.

The Gunners have won just two of their last 11 league games and were beaten 3-1 at Wolves last time out. They are currently sat in fifth place in the table just a point behind the top four and are still in the Europa League so still have two avenues to Champions League qualification open.

Betting odds and tips

Unai Emery`s men have been poor away from home and are facing a side who look a different prospect under new boss Brendan Rodgers. With that in mind, the 13/8 odds from a home win look great value.

You can back Leicester City to win at 13/8.
