Leicester have suffered enough and will not qualify for international cups, but they have to keep fighting to avoid relegation, which would be a catastrophe for the team.

Leicester +370
Arsenal -142
Draw Offs:
+300
Where can I watch it?
Why Bet on Leicester?
Despite having a great team, Leicester has had a season to forget. In 23 games they have only won 7 and drawn 3, in addition to losing 13, which puts them in 14th place with 24 points, only 4 above the relegation places. Furthermore, with 41 goals against, it is the second-worst defense in the tournament, only surpassed by Bournemouth’s (44).
Without a doubt, Brendan Rodgers is on the tightrope, since a new defeat puts them in danger in the red zone. They had achieved 2 great victories recently against Aston Villa (2-4) and Tottenham (4-1), but this weekend they were crushed by Manchester United (3-0).
What is clear is that with James Maddison the team improves a lot. Since he returned from his injury, the midfielder has played 5 games in which the Foxes won 3, drew 1, and lost the last one against Man U. In addition, he scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist. He is the team’s top scorer (9) and the biggest assister (5).
Why Bet on Arsenal?
Arsenal fans had a fantastic weekend. They won a great game in the last minutes against Aston Villa (2-4), they celebrated again after 4 matches and Manchester City did not go beyond a draw with Nottingham Forest (1-1), so they regained the leadership of the Premier League. Now they have 2 more points than the Citizens and 1 game less, so they are still excited about a title that they haven’t achieved for almost 20 years.
Mikel Arteta’s team has had ups and downs, but what must be recognized is the feeling of its players. Beyond the great level they are having, everyone on the team is giving more than 100% and fighting as if it were the last game of their lives. Even Pep Guardiola recently acknowledged this, saying that the Gunners have a hunger that no one else in the Premier now has. And that was evidenced this weekend.
With that extra motivation, the Londoners are taking the field every game. They are the second-best attack (51) and the second-best defense (23). Gabriel Jesús seems to have recovered, but it would not be used yet to prevent a relapse. Gabriel Martinelli scored again after 8 games and is an important piece that Arteta recovers.
Final Betting Analysis: Leicester vs. Arsenal
Great game and a good test for Arsenal, because although Leicester is fighting in the lower part, they have very good players and they won’t make it easy for them, plus they also have relegation pressure, but the Gunners have extra motivation and an insatiable hunger for the title, which is why we believe they will be the winners.
At MyBookie.ag we find that Arsenal is the favorite of the match with a Moneyline of -142, while Leicester has +370 and the draw is +300.
The last time they met was on August 13 last year and Arsenal won 4-2 with a brace from Gabriel Jesús and goals from Granit Xhaka and Gabriel Martinelli, while William Saliba (own goal) and James Maddison scored for Leicester.
