Leicester City face Arsenal at King Power Stadium on Saturday, August 20. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Leicester City and Arsenal both started their 2016-17 Premier League campaigns last week with high hopes. However, the defending champs of the league in Leicester City suffered arguably the worst result possible. Not only did they suffer a 2-1 loss and get zero points, but they fell short against Hull City. Considering that Hull is projected to be a Premier League bottom-feeder, Leicester left a lot to be desired. Riyad Mahrez scored their lone goal off a penalty last week. However, Mahrez and Jamie Vardy must return to the form of last season of their title defense is ever going to get on track.
On the other hand, Arsenal also suffered a bad loss at the hands of Liverpool. Though it may have been a close result with a 4-3 score-line, it wasn’t nearly that close in the match. Liverpool absolutely dismantled the Arsenal defense and the Gunners truly got picked apart as a whole. Even with a goal on Match Day 1, Theo Walcott has to be better on the attack along with Alexis Sanchez. Arsenal simply must play up to the talent level of their first-team squad to stay relevant and not leave their first couple of matches without any points.
