Match preview
Arsenal will look to build on their 2-0 win over Crystal Palace when they host Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
Arsenal’s victory over Crystal Palace can be described as a revenge for a 3-0 defeat last season at Selhurst Park.
The talented Gabriel Martinelli scored the first goal in the 20th minute. Arteta will be hoping that his Brazilian star can have a great season this time around.
The game was pretty close and tense throughout, until Guehi accidentally scored an own goal 5-minutes before full time.
Meanwhile, Leicester City began their home game against Brentford on a high note, with Castagne scoring in the 33rd minute. Vardy and Dewsbury-Hall then combined well to give Leicester a 2-goal lead early in the second half. But just after an hour, Toney scored his first goal of the season for Brentford.
Under pressure, Leicester City collapsed and allowed their opponent to come back with a goal by Dasilva, equalizing the match 4 minutes before time.
Going into this game Arsenal are firm favourites to win all 3-points but knowing Leicester, they could pull a shocker.
