# Arsenal vs Leicester – Key Battles

Arsenal will go toe to toe with reigning Premier League champions Leicester City on Wednesday night as they look to make it three competitive wins in a row.

The Gunners will come into the game at the Emirates off the back of a 2-1 win away at Middlesbrough in the league, followed by an impressive 2-1 victory over Manchester City after extra time in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Sunday.

However, they still sit unacceptably low in the Premier League table and will be looking to push themselves above Everton and back into the top six when they welcome the Foxes to the Emirates.

Leicester will provide a stern test for the Gunners and will give Arsene Wenger a good idea of what level his team are at, with the hosts heading into the match as the favourites.

So, where will the game be won or lost? We’ve had a look at the key battles that will be on show.
