It seems like we've said this every week lately but a win at Leicester is crucial for Arsenal to keep up with league leaders Liverpool.

The Reds played that dreaded game in hand on Wednesday night but were held to a 2-2 draw by Merseyside rivals Everton, who stole a point in dramatic circumstances. The controversial late winner prompted a post-match capitulation which saw Curtis Jones and Arne Slot shown red cards.

While it may just be a blip, Liverpool's draw at Everton showed that they aren't unstoppable and if the Gunners are to maintain a run of form, they will certainly keep the pressure on them. The starting point for that is Leicester, and three points are crucial.
