Arsenal vs Leicester City LIVE: Goal updates, latest news, watch and stream info, what time tonight

Arsenal will be looking to extend their winning run to 10 games when Leicester City visit the Emirates on Monday night.

Unai Emery’s team moved into the top four with a 5-1 hammering of Fulham at Craven Cottage before the international break, taking them to within two points of Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool at the top of the table.

Leicester City meanwhile suffered a damaging defeat at home to Everton, but they will take some confidence in having scored three goals in both league matches against the Gunners last season. Follow all of the latest below.


Arsenal head coach Unai Emery: "I think we need to improve a lot. Our demands need to be very high. The supporters can enjoy it with us but also we're speaking with our reality every day.

"We need to improve because, for example, the match against Fulham was a very good result and a very good game for 90 minutes. But in the first 45 minutes I thought we needed to do better."

 

Some match facts for you now:

Arsenal have never lost a home Premier League match against Leicester City, winning the last 11. A win tonight means they would become the first club to win 50 top-flight meetings with the Foxes.

However Leicester could win consecutive top-flight fixtures versus Arsenal for the first time since 1983.

It’s a big game for…

Caglar Soyuncu. The summer signing from Freiburg is likely to make his debut at the Emirates after Wes Morgan’s red card against Everton, and he will have his work cut out with Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leading a formidable and confident Arsenal attack. Harry Maguire has been in stunning form; however, as last weekend proved, he will need the support of his fellow centre-back if Leicester are to come away with something.

Best stat…

11: Arsenal have won all of their last 11 home league matches against Leicester. The Gunners, who have never been defeated in the Premier League by the Foxes on home soil, have only bettered this run against Stoke City, who they have beaten in 13 successive home matches in the top flight.

Player to watch…

Alexandre Lacazette: The Frenchman continues to miss out on Didier Deschamps’ squad but he is more than justifying his selection as Unai Emery’s starting centre-forward. His double against Fulham was typical of all the traits he has demonstrated this season, such as strength on the ball, speed of movement and exemplary finishing. With a new centre-back pairing at the heart of Leicester’s defence, the 27-year-old will be looking to add to his tally of four league goals.
