Premier League weekend, and an Arsenal that continues its quest to lift a league title after many, many years, will face a Leicester that wants to win its first game and not get into the relegation zone.

Why bet on Arsenal?
Arsenal remains in the fight for the league title as in recent years, being a strong rival for Manchester City and Liverpool. Precisely, the previous weekend they were on the verge of stabbing the Citizens, but it escaped them in the last seconds.
The Gunners were leading 1-2 as visitors before the end of the first half, but precisely in the last play, referee Michael Oliver sent off Leandro Trossard for a double yellow card, apparently for kicking a ball after a foul had been sanctioned.
In the second half, Arsenal went into their area and managed to save all the danger, but in the last play of the game, at 90+8 minute, Bernardo Silva played a quick corner and, after some rebounds, John Stones scored the equalizer.
It was a hard blow for Arsenal who were already tasting the victory. They are now trailing in fourth place, two points behind City, after three wins and two draws.
Defender Gabriel Magalhaes is the team’s top scorer with two goals, both scored in the last two games, demonstrating the importance of the team’s aerial play and that is a dangerous weapon.
Trossard is suspended, while Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Takehiro Tomiyasu are injured.
Why bet on Leicester?
Leicester returned to the Premier League this year and their mission is not to be relegated. However, they have not done a very good job. With three points out of a possible 15, they are in 15th place. They have not yet been able to win and got draws against Tottenham, Crystal Palace, and Everton.
The Foxes have scored and conceded in every game, and the two times they lost were by the same score: 2-1 away to Fulham and at home to Aston Villa.
Strikers Stephy Mavididi and Jamie Vardy have two goals each. However, it should be noted that the former has scored in the last two games, so he comes motivated.
Among the new faces this season is the young Moroccan Bilal El Khannouss, 20 years old, for whom they paid over 20 million euros and it is expected that he can help the club more. So far, he has played very little, less than 90 minutes, but is expected to be an important player.
