Leicester City Preview – Can Foxes bounce back?
A disappointing 2-0 defeat at home to Slavia Prague in the 2nd leg of their Europa league tie saw Leicester City bundled out of the competition by the Czech Republic outfit and also ended Leicester’s previous six-match sequence without defeat in all competitions.
This Sunday it’s back to Premier League action though and a chance for Leicester City to at least extend their unbeaten run in the domestic top flight having won three of their last four matches overall which included wins against Fulham, Liverpool and Aston Villa – the victory over Liverpool would have been particularly sweet for Foxes manager, Brendan Rodgers.
It would be fair to say that Leicester have struggled for consistency on home turf this season though as they hold an erratic record of 6-1-5 19/16 to date, but seven of Leicester’s 12 home matches have seen over 2.5 goals.
Arsenal Preview – Can Arsenal respond?
Arsenal sneaked past Portuguese side, Benfica, in their midweek 2nd leg win in the Europa League but it’s back to the business of salvaging their season in the English top flight this Sunday after having picked up just one win from their last five matches overall.
That win came in the shape of a 4-2 home win over Leeds United but three defeats in these last five matches against Wolves, Aston Villa and Manchester City has undone all of their previous hard work and they’re back where they started, in 11th place.
Results away from home have also been sporadic as The Gunners on three on the trot in recent times only to suffer back-to-back defeats in their last two outings on the road – six of Arsenal’s 12 away matches have also resulted in over 2.5 goals.
