Arsenal vs Leicester City: What time does it start, where can I watch it, odds, form guide and more

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

What time does it start?

Arsenal vs Leicester City kicks off at 8pm on Monday.

Where can I watch it?

The match will be shown live on Sky Sports’ Premier League and Main Event channels from 7pm, while Sky Sports subscribers can also stream the match online via the SkyGo app. The match is also available on Now TV by grabbing a Sky Sports Day Pass for just £7.99. Highlights will be shown at 1am on Sky Sports Premier League.

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.
