Arsenal vs Leicester City - Match Thread

So a year ago who would have thought that the big Super Sunday top of the table clash in February wouldn't be Manchester City vs Chelsea, wouldn't be Manchester United vs Chelsea - but actually Arsenal vs Leicester City.

But here we are - coming towards March and its these two clubs that are taking the headlines today with Tottenham and Manchester City being the other big title clash.

At the end of today, I don't think we will know who is likely to be champions, but we may know who could effectively be out of the title race. Should Leicester win it could be very difficult for Arsenal. Similarly should Spurs win, Man City will be left to make up too much ground depending on results at the Emirates.

The last meeting between these two resulted in a 5-2 victory for Arsenal but it would be foolish to think the same result will happen today. Leicester are a different proposition with a different back 4 and a much better defence.

INJURIES;

The big news today is that Gabriel is injured which leaves Vardy up against Mertesacker. Gabriel surely would have started and this could be a big advantage to Leicester.
