Leicester vs Arsenal: Premier League 2019 prediction, lineups, odds, live stream, TV channel, tickets, h2h

Leicester vs Arsenal
Premier League 2018-19
Venue: King Power Stadium
Date: Sunday, 28 April, 2019
Kick-off: 12pm BST

After being savaged by Wolves in midweek, Arsenal must avoid a mauling from the Foxes as they travel to Leicester City on Sunday.

A top-four finish had looked odds-on for Arsenal just a few short weeks ago, but the Gunners have now lost three of their last five Premier League games - including the last two in a row - to now sit fifth in the table.

Arsenal have lost seven League games on the road this season following Wednesday's 3-1 defeat at Wolves, and things aren't likely to get any easier this weekend as Unai Emery's men face Brendan Rodgers' Leicester.

The 2018-19 season has been difficult on and off the pitch for Leicester following the death of their owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha in November, but the Foxes are looking to end the campaign on a high as they build for the future.


Leicester vs Arsenal team news and predicted line-ups

Aaron Ramsey remains out of contention for Arsenal with a thigh injury, though Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang should return after missing the Wolves clash having undergone a sinus procedure.

Hector Bellerin (knee), Rob Holding (knee) and Danny Welbeck (ankle) remain out for the season, while Denis Suarez (groin) is unlikely to make his mark during a disappointing loan spell.

Emery's switch to a back four did not pay off against Wolves, while Shkodran Mustafi may return after being dropped at Molineux.

As for Leicester, Daniel Amartey (ankle) is out, though Wes Morgan should return after a family matter.

Predicted line-ups

Leicester XI: Schmeichel, Pereira, Evans, Maguire, Chilwell, Albrighton, Ndidi, Tielemans, Gray, Maddison, Vardy

Arsenal XI: Leno, Koscielny, Sokratis, Monreal, Maitland-Niles, Xhaka, Torreira, Kolasinac, Iwobi, Lacazette, Aubameyang


Score prediction: Leicester 2-1 Arsenal

Arsenal's home form in the League should have them fighting for the title this season, but the Gunners' away results have cost them dearly.

Emery's men have lost more League games away from home (seven) than they have won (six), and unless they show a marked improvement at the King Power, Leicester - along with an in-form Jamie Vardy - will fancy their chances.
