The days of Leicester City challenging for the Premier League title are in the past. Now, it’s Arsenal’s turn to reign supreme.

Arsenal’s record of 17-3-3 puts them in first place among 20 teams in the Premier League this season while Leicester City has dropped to 14th with a 7-3-13 record.

With one of the best defenses in the Premier League (and one of the best offenses, too), there’s good value in betting on Arsenal.

But before I give you my prediction for today’s match, you gotta know about this limited-time promotion at Caesars Sportsbook.

Now let’s see if you want to use that risk-free wager on tomorrow’s match.

Arsenal vs. Leicester City Prediction

Arsenal has absolutely DOMINATED the all-time series against Leicester City with a 20-7-4 record in 31 all-time meetings.

Arsenal has won all four matches between the clubs over the past two years, winning all four matches by two goals.

With the way this season has trended, there’s no reason to think that recent history won’t repeat itself.

My best bet is Arsenal to win in regulation (-145), especially when you consider that the last time Leicester City won AT Emirates Stadium was over three years ago in 2019.

But betting the favorite isn’t always so fun, so let’s look at a couple of bold predictions that could pay off tomorrow.

Bukayo Saka has been hot lately for Arsenal, scoring goals in three of the team’s past five matches while averaging over five shots per match during that stretch.

Saka isn’t just Arsenal’s leading goal scorer, he also leads the team in shots in most matches. Saka is +200 to score and +600 to score the first goal if you’re feeling particularly risky.

If you don’t want to wager on just one player, though, you might want to bet on Arsenal to win the race to three goals at +215.

With one of the top-producing offenses in the league, it wouldn’t be a stretch for Arsenal to reach three goals, and it’s very unlikely that Leicester City scores that much. So, this is essentially a bet for Arsenal to get to three goals at any point in the match.

You really can’t go wrong betting on Arsenal when the team has so many factors – recent success, home-field advantage, and head-to-head dominance – on their side.

But regardless of what you choose to wager on, make sure your bet is fully insured. Sign up with Caesars before you miss out on their limited-time offer.
