Arsenal picked themselves up from last weekend’s frustrating 2-2 draw with Manchester City by thumping Bolton 5-1 in the Carabao Cup.
And Leicester will be fearful of a similar result on Saturday with Mikel Arteta’s side determined to return to winning ways in the Premier League.
History suggests this will be a straightforward win for the Gunners, who’ve won their last five Premier League games against Leicester.
The Foxes have won just one of their last 26 away league games against Arsenal, while the hosts have won 16 of their last 17 Premier League games against promoted sides.
Unbeaten Arsenal sit fourth in the division with 11 points from a possible 15, although their odds for the title have now been slashed following Rodri’s injury.
They might well be buoyed by the news of Manchester City missing such a pivotal player, and Saturday looks a good opportunity to improve their +5 goal difference – which is three behind the current champions.
Leicester, meanwhile, remain winless in their five Premier League games so far this season.
Steve Cooper’s side have both scored and conceded in all five of their Premier League games so far this season – though only Ipswich Town have registered fewer efforts on goal.

Arsenal vs Leicester preview betting tips and predictions
Mr Assist
It’s perhaps a little greedy, but I fancy Arsenal to score a handful on Saturday and superstar winger Bukayo Saka should be heavily involved.
The England international, 23, has already scored once and provided a whopping five assists in seven appearances this season.
He’s created a colossal 12 chances for his colleagues in 386 minutes of league action, which is more than Leandro Trossard and Martin Odegaard combined.

Last call
Call it punty, but Gabriel Jesus looks a decent shout to score the LAST goal against Leicester this weekend.
The Brazilian, 27, is extremely unlikely to start, but should arrive for the last 15 minutes or so when the visitors are expected to be trailing.
His record against Leicester is outstanding having netted seven goals and provided two assists in ten appearances – winning all ten of those matches.
He scored twice and assisted twice against the Foxes on his home debut for Arsenal in August 2022, and we expect him to round off a productive afternoon for the Gunners.
