Arsenal take on a rival for the title when they face Leicester City at the Emirates on Sunday. Here’s how they are expected to line up against the Foxes.

After a run of tough games that saw them drop valuable points in the month of January, Arsenal finally got back to winning ways against Bournemouth last weekend. It was a tough away game at the Vitality Stadium as one would expect, but nonetheless, Arsenal got the job down when it was needed most. The away side came away with a 2-0, which was will give them a much needed boost in confidence for the massive challenge that awaits them on Sunday.

At the beginning of the season, I might not have described playing Leicester at home as a “massive challenge”, but as the saying goes, things can change in the blink of an eye. It is quite astonishing to see Leicester in the hunt for the title when it was just last season that they were trying to keep their heads above water in the race to avoid relegation.

In this campaign, it is Arsenal that is chasing Leicester in the hunt for the Premier League title. Arsenal would do themselves a world of good in that sense, by picking up all three points against their main rivals this season.

It may sound cliche, but beating Leicester will almost certainly be easier said than done. Interestingly, Arsenal are the only members of the traditional “top four” to beat Leicester this season, and in convincing fashion with a 5-2 thumping at the King Power Stadium in late September.

It will be a lot harder this time, with Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez establishing themselves as the Premier League’s most dynamic duo. The Gunners will be wary of those two, but I don’t doubt that Arsenal has the quality to be the only “top four” team to do the double over Leicester this season.

With that said, here is how you can expect Arsenal to lineup for this vital clash at the Emirates on Sunday.
