Arsenal vs Leicester City: Best odds, team stats, H2H and betting tips

Ace Football previews the Premier League round 2 match between Arsenal and Leicester City and offers team stats, betting tips and the latest odds.

Struggling Leicester City are most likely in for a tough assignment when going up against Arsenal on Saturday at Emirates Stadium. With a string of mediocre performances, at best, it would be astounding to see the former take any point here.

The Gunners enter the season as candidates for a top 3 finish, but more than a third place would in the end be a rather big surprise. In a season where everything runs absolutely smoothly, Leicester City might be able to surprise. However, a finish inside the top half of the Premier League looks like the most realistic scenario.

We are bound to see an exciting game on Saturday as both Arsenal and Leicester City will do their best to show their fans that they are the better team on the pitch and are capable of fulfilling the objectives for the season.

However, the hosts will surely try to grab all three points themselves this coming Saturday, thus extending the lead in the standings.
