Leicester vs Arsenal Prediction
- After the surprise victory at Tottenham, Leicester have since lost their last two matches, and exited the FA Cup at the hands of Manchester United last week.
- Ruud van Nistelrooy's side head into this big home clash in 18th place, two points from the currently safe Wolves.
- The highs of the 5-1 win over Manchester City were followed by the lows of Carabao Cup semi-final defeat to Newcastle for Arsenal last week.
- The Gunners are now out of both domestic cup competitions, with the Premier League and Champions League now their only hopes of silverware this season.
- Arsenal were 4-2 winners in an entertaining meeting between these two sides at the Emirates in September, and should have the edge again here.

Nwanari is Arsenal's third top scorer behind Havertz and Saka in all competitions this season with seven goals in 7.9 appearances.
He has showed his willingness to test the keeper in recent week's, notably with his long ranged effort against Man United. With a lack of options up front, the young winger could be the answer to Arsenal's attacking problems.
