Arsenal are back home in the Premier League for a game against Leicester City.
The Gunners were on the road in each of their last two league fixtures against Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City. An away fixture against Atalanta took place between those two games as well.
Mikel Arteta’s side returned to the Emirates on Wednesday and picked up a convincing 5-1 victory against Bolton Wanderers in the EFL Cup.
Up next is another home clash against Leicester City, and Arsenal are the favourites to win the game. But, David Seaman has a concern.
David Seaman’s big ‘worry’ about Arsenal ahead of Leicester City clash
Arsenal have already dropped points in two games this season.
The Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw against Brighton and Hove Albion before the international break and the game against Manchester City finished 2-2 last weekend.
Arsenal cannot afford to drop too many more points in the remainder of the season, especially at the Emirates. That makes the game against Leicester City a must-win.
Arteta is expected to name a strong lineup against the Foxes after making plenty of changes against Bolton, and it would be a big surprise if the North Londoners don’t pick up all three points.
Seaman has acknowledged the fact that everyone is expecting a comfortable Arsenal victory, but he has claimed that he has one very big ‘worry’ going into the game.
He said on the Seaman Says podcast: “My only worry for this game is fatigue. You know the comedown from what happened at City, maybe a couple of injuries.
“Because, like, what was it, three away games, and then you go into Leicester, and we’re expected to win this quite easily.”
Arsenal’s last five results vs Leicester City make one thing clear
Facing newly promoted sides is always tricky because you don’t really know what to expect. However, Leicester were only down in the Championship for one season.
Arsenal faced the Foxes regularly in the Premier League before, and there have been some excellent clashes between the two sides over the years.
However, in the last five meetings between the two clubs, there has only been one winner – Arsenal.
Arteta’s Gunners have beaten Leicester in each of their last five games, with an aggregate score of 12-4.
That is complete domination, and fans will be hoping for that good run to continue when the two sides face each other at the Emirates on Saturday.
