They’re not only going to lose tomorrow, they’ll be humiliated believe it or not”, Chelsea legend Didier Drogba reveals His prediction for Arsenal vs Leicester clash tomorrow
Arsenal will look to continue their impressive run of form when they host Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
The Gunners remain unbeaten following the international break, having won the North London derby and claimed a point at Manchester City.
Arsenal are also through to the fourth round of the League Cup after beating Bolton Wanderers and have a point in the Champions League after drawing with Atalanta.
Now, Mikel Arteta’s charges will look to overcome a tricky Foxes side that has drawn three league games this season, though they’re yet to win in the top flight.
Leicester did enough to take a point against Tottenham in their season opener and also made it to the next round of the League Cup after beating Walsall on penalties.
Sky Sports pundits Ian Wright, Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have now had their say on how they think the Gunners and the Foxes will fare at the weekend.
Pundits back Arsenal for clean-sheet win over Leicester
Considering Arsenal are in the title picture and are playing at home, it’s no surprise to hear that many pundits are backing them to beat the newly-promoted Foxes.
Wright’s prediction was slightly different to that of Carragher and Neville, who think the Gunners will win by a bigger score-line than what the Highbury legend has suggested.
Speaking on the Stick to Football podcast, Wright backed the Gunners to record a routine 2-0 win over Steve Cooper’s side.
Carragher then said: “I think 3-0,” and Neville agreed with the Liverpool legend, saying: “Yeah, we’ll go 3-0.”
Arsenal v Leicester team news – can Leandro Trossard play?
Arsenal have a number of injury concerns ahead of the Leicester game, with Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Takehiro Tomiyasu all unavailable
There are doubts over both David Raya and Jurrien Timber and, after Jack Porter started in goal against Bolton, summer signing Neto could now be set for his own debut in goal.
Leandro Trossard was sent off against Manchester City last week, but he’s available to feature against Leicester.
His two yellow cards meant he was banned for one domestic game. He duly missed out against Bolton, rendering him available for the Foxes clash.
Meanwhile, Leicester are set to be without Jannik Vestergaard due to an ankle issue, and Patson Daka and Jakub Stolarczyk are also unavailable.
