Leicester City vs Arsenal Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Arsenal's hopes of a top four finish in the Premier League suffered another blow as the Gunners lost 3-1 at Wolves on Wednesday night.

Another tricky trip awaits Unai Emery's men on Sunday as they head to Leicester City.

Latest Odds

Despite Arsenal's struggles away from the Emirates Stadium, they are 11/8 (2.38) favourites to come out on top at the King Power Stadium with 888Sport.

Brendan Rodgers' side can be backed at 9/5 (2.80) while the draw trades at 11/4 (3.75). The home side have won just one of their last 24 league meetings with the Gunners, although that victory did come in this fixture last season.

Team News

Daniel Amartey is still sidelined, but Leicester have no other absentees. Jamie Vardy has six goals in his last seven Premier League games against Arsenal and is 11/10 (2.10) to find the net.

The visitors are missing several players including Aaron Ramsey, Hector Bellerin and Danny Welbeck. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang looks set to be back after missing the defeat at Wolves.

Preview

It's tough to trust the visitors at 11/8 (2.38) considering the Gunners have lost three of their last four Premier League matches. Arsenal's bout of travel sickness has been well documented, with Emery's men having only won six of their 17 top-flight matches on the road this term.

Leicester have shown some improvement under Brendan Rodgers, especially in the final third. The Foxes have only failed to score once in their last 10 league outings.

Leicester City v Arsenal Betting Preview

The bookmakers are expecting an open affair with over 2.5 goals priced at just 3/5 (1.60) and both teams to score even shorter at 1/2 (1.50).

The over 3.5 line could be worth considering at 31/20 (2.55) given this has paid out in nine of Arsenal's away league games this season.

Tips and Predictions

This game comes just three days after Arsenal's defeat at Molineux and four days before Valencia head to the Emirates in the Europa League.

With that quick turnaround, backing Leicester to inflict more away day misery on the Gunners looks the best option for punters. 888Sport are an industry-best price of 23/20 (2.15) on Leicester scoring two or more goals.

Arsenal have kept just one Premier League clean sheet on the road this term and that came at 10-man Watford. Overall the Gunners have conceded 31 times in 17 away games.

Rodgers' side have scored at least twice in six of their last eight games and they look worth backing to expose a fragile visiting defence.
