Leicester City will aim to continue their recent momentum by beating in-form Arsenal when the teams meet at the Emirates Stadium in Premier League action on Sunday afternoon.
The Foxes followed up their 1-0 victory over Jesse Marsch's Leeds United last weekend with a professional showing in the Europa Conference League against Rennes at the King Power - winning 2-0 on Thursday night to move to the brink of a quarter-final place.
They will take on Arsenal without star striker Jamie Vardy - who has been thorn in the Gunners’ side throughout his career, scoring 11 times against them - after he suffered a knee injury but Brendan Rodgers’ side go into the contest full of confidence, having won four games in a row in all competitions.
For their part, Mikel Arteta’s Gunners are aiming for a fifth straight Premier League win, as they’ve taken control of battle for fourth spot in recent weeks, and have a remarkable record against Leicester on home soil - with the Foxes’ 1-0 victory at the Emirates last term ending a 23-game winless streak away to Arsenal in league competition.

Prediction
Both teams are seemingly on an upward curve in recent weeks, will go into this contest full of confidence and that could lead to a classic. Arsenal-killer Jamie Vardy being absent for Leicester is undoubtedly a boost for the Gunners and with the Londoners being laser-focused on securing that fourth spot, they should have just enough to beat Brendan Rodgers’ men at home.
