Prediction: Leicester 3-2 Arsenal
Both sides have seen defensive issues plague their progress. Hence, we can expect a number of goals.
Leicester is in slightly better form given their run and ability to grind out results.
Arsenal is unbeaten in the league since August end, but have lacked the consistency to churn out results.
We expect an engaging contest between the two sides with the hosts nicking it by the odd goal.
Players to watch out for: Vardy, Maddison, Aubameyang and Smith-Rowe.
