Arsenal will host Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday, as both teams look to build on their midweek EFL Cup wins. The Gunners head into this Premier League clash in strong form, while Leicester are still seeking their first league win of the season.
Arsenal cruised to a dominant 5-1 victory against Bolton Wanderers in the EFL Cup midweek, showcasing the depth of their squad. Manager Mikel Arteta fielded several academy players, with 16-year-old goalkeeper Jack Porter making history as Arsenal’s youngest-ever starter. Teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri scored twice, while Raheem Sterling, Kai Havertz, and Declan Rice also got on the scoresheet.
Arsenal remains unbeaten this season and sits fourth in the Premier League, two points behind leaders Manchester City. Last weekend, they came agonizingly close to beating City at the Etihad, but a late equalizer from John Stones denied them a crucial victory. Now back on home soil, Arsenal will aim to keep their strong momentum going.
Leicester City, meanwhile, narrowly edged out League Two side Walsall in a penalty shootout in their EFL Cup tie. Goalkeeper Danny Ward was the hero, saving all three of Walsall’s penalties to send Leicester through to the fourth round, where they will face Manchester United.
However, Steve Cooper’s side has struggled in the league, drawing 1-1 with Everton last weekend in poor weather conditions. Leicester sits 15th in the table and is one of six Premier League teams yet to win this season. The Foxes need a major turnaround if they are to avoid an extended relegation battle.
