Leicester City vs Arsenal: Key Battles

Arsenal travel to the Midlands to take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium tonight in Arsene Wenger’s penultimate game as Gunners boss.

The Reds only have pride left to play for as they are guaranteed a sixth-place finish and with that, Europa League qualification.

Arsenal overcame the disappointment of exiting said competition at the semi-final stage by sweeping aside Burnley 5-0 last time out.

A brace from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and strikes from Alexandre Lacazette, Sead Kolasinac and Alex Iwobi crowned Wenger’s final home game after the 68-year-old was given a guard of honour pre-match.

They currently sit 9th with 44 points and are in danger of being overtaken by Newcastle United with both sides having two matches to play.

Without further ado, here’s a look at four key battles that could prove crucial in determining the outcome of the match…
