![]() ![]() Arsenal won twice away against Leicester last season - 2-0 in the League Cup and 3-1 in the Premier League.After a 22-game winless run against Arsenal in the Premier League between 19, Leicester have won four of their last seven against the Gunners in the competition (D1 L2).Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers was pleased with the performances of goal-scorers Harvey Barnes and Ademola Lookman in Wednesday's Carabao Cup fourth-round penalty shootout win over Brighton SCORE PREDICTION: 0-1 | BETTING ANGLE: Arsenal to win to nil (4/1 with Sky Bet) Opta stats Four of Arsenal's last five wins on the road have been achieved with a clean sheet and since the start of last season only Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea have won more games to nil away from home than Arsenal (8). With Leicester not exactly firing in the final third - all their key attacking metrics have them ranked as a mid-table team this season - there is a case to be made for backing an Arsenal win without them conceding at 4/1 with Sky Bet. They have also yet to concede a goal in the first half in those six matches. It's the second-best defensive record of any Premier League team in that period, according to the expected goals against metrics. In six games, the trio have conceded just four goals with an expected goals against figure of 5.2 backing up their cohesive play. The Aaron Ramsdale, Ben White and Gabriel axis has an impressive look to it. I don't have any trust issues with Arsenal's defence. But at prices like 7/4 with Sky Bet to win at Leicester, I'm happy to back Arsenal. This Arsenal team aren't to be trusted just yet as they are packed with inexperience and flaky players like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, who looked motivated to the max against Villa but are also equally likely to throw in a stinker the next week. Were Arsenal absolutely savage? Or were Aston Villa just plain ordinary? The tricky part of analysing a true performance level of a team though is to assess the strength of such a form-line. ![]() #Showoff vs arsonal freeFREE TO WATCH: Highlights from Arsenal's win over Aston Villa Jones Knows predictionĪrsenal looked like a top-four team for large parts of their convincing victory over Aston Villa last Friday. ![]()
