Arsenal vs Leicester City live stream: Watch Premier League online
By Josh Sippie
Arsenal and Leicester City kick off the 2017/18 season and naturally, you want to know where to watch and how to tune in, so here are all the ways to do that and the match facts.
There’s nothing quite like opening up the season on the right foot, which is something Arsenal have tragically lacked in recent years. However, they got a head start by disposing of Chelsea in the FA Community Shield and hopefully they can buck the trend of having poor opening days against Leicester City.

Where to start with what to watch for? Obviously, we’d love to see a continuation of what we saw against Chelsea, with perhaps a bit more finishing capabilities. In that match, the Gunners took the fight to the Blues, controlling the pace and tempo and having the more chances at goal.
What they lacked can be made up for by a simple matter of who they lacked. Arsene Wenger opted to secure the health of both Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil against Chelsea, as they both had minor injuries that he deemed serious enough to rest them until opening day.
Both will be key components to an attack that was lacking a bit of cutting edge. Granit Xhaka masterfully took over creative duties, but having Ozil to dictate the offense and Ramsey’s biting runs into the box, that could be the difference between squeaking out one goal and confidently sending home three or four.

And of course, we want to know if we will see Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean was suited up (as in in an actual suit) up against Chelsea, but given the start of the actual Premier League season and five more days of getting back into the swing of things and I’d reckon it wouldn’t be too shocking to see him come on for a cameo appearance late in the game.
Alexandre Lacazette is the other that we all want to see out there, although having both him and Olivier Giroud still feels like the optimal way to go, especially with Alexis likely missing from the starting XI.
Leicester City, meanwhile, will be hoping to a good start to matters as well. After winning the most unlikely of EPL trophies, they faded into the mid table and haven’t been able to mount anything since. However, the Gunners were the only team to beat them twice in their Championship year, so it’s clear which team is favored here.
Anyway, here are all the ways to watch and/or listen:
