Mikel Arteta spoke at his press conference on Friday about Leicester.

Well, I agree that they have been more consistent in terms of performance and results. It’s a team that has come a long way and I think Brendan [Rodgers] The coaching staff have done an exceptional job, they have a lot of injuries too, I think this season, in addition to the Covid issues we’ve all been through, it’s a tough combination and it’s been tough for all the managers, but as you said, they are now in a better moment.

Emile Smith Rowe is back in the squad today after being pulled out due to Covid but Arteta said Arsenal “Caution” with Takehiro Tomiyasu.

Welcome! Welcome to our coverage of this afternoon’s match between Arsenal and Leicester City. As Arsenal look to continue their push into the top four today, Leicester will try to return to the top half of the table after dropping to 12.

Arsenal come home with vibes surrounding them as they look for a fifth place in a row Premier League Wins. Last week, the narrow result in their 3-2 away win at Watford did not fully reflect the joy and tenacity with which they played, scoring three superb goals and doing so with their group of young stars, Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard. The heart is good for them.

After Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur, it trails United in fourth place by two points but with four games in hand. During the last 10 matches, Arsenal He won the most points in the league along with Manchester City. We’ll see if they can maintain this shape.

Meanwhile, twelfth place wasn’t where more people imagined Leicester City would be this year and it’s been a disappointing season. However, they arrived in the Emirates having established at least some winning habits in recent weeks.

With the warning that they have faced two teams, Leeds and Burnley, battling for relegation, Leicester have won their last two Premier League games and are looking to claim their fifth consecutive win in all competitions. Like Arsenal, he’s only played 25 games so far and could make up a lot of ground in some of the teams ahead of them.
