Arsenal travel to Leicester City in the hope that they can grind out three points in amongst their injury crisis.

Arsenal have won their last six encounters against The Foxes since a 1-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium back in October 2020.

Jamie Vardy was on the scoresheet that day and Mikel Arteta will need to be wary of the threat posed by the striker. Vardy almost joined Arsenal back in 2016.

However, since winning the Premier League in 2016, Leicester have endured mixed fortunes including winning the FA Cup but suffering relegation. Their fans are not happy with current owner Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha and have something planned during the clash with the Gunners.

Leicester fans planning protest during the 14th Minute of clash with Arsenal

According to talkSport, Leicester City fans are planning a protest against the running of the club during their clash with Arsenal.

Fans are planning a ‘peaceful protest’ before the game and then will wear the colour yellow inside the stadium – a message to their Thai owners with yellow being a significant colour in Thailand.

The Foxes’ supporters will then make their protest more vocal in the 14th minute after forming a group called ‘project reset’, a way of showing their frustrations at the side’s performances this season.

Arsenal will need to focus on matters on the pitch

As mentioned, Vardy poses a threat to Arsenal and has scored eleven times against the Gunners over the course of his Leicester career.

Arteta will know that with limited attacking options, his side cannot afford to concede sloppy goals or lose focus with matters off the pitch.

Martin Odegaard will need to rediscover his form in front of goal whilst the usually reliable duo of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes will want to put their sloppy performance at St James’s Park behind them by keeping Vardy at bay.

A win at the King Power Stadium could send Arsenal to within four points of leaders Liverpool and crank the pressure up on Arne Slot’s side.
