Back Premier League: Arsenal vs Leicester City preview

Arsenal will be looking to bounce back to winning ways after the North London derby defeat when they face bottom of the table Leicester City on Tuesday evening. Arsenal were beaten 2-1 by Tottenham on Saturday in the North London derby and Arsene Wenger might make some changes to his side after that result. The Gunners had been on a five-game winning streak before the derby, scoring 15 goals in the process.

Leicester will face the match knowing that manager Nigel Pearson is under pressure and might lose his job before the season is over. Last time out Leicester lost 1-0 against Crystal Palace and the result left them four points away from safety. During that match boss Pearson was involved in an unorthodox confrontation with midfielder James McArthur as the manager appeared to put his hands around the player's throat.

A club statement indicated that Pearson remains in charge of the team, at least for the match against Arsenal. The Foxes have recorded four wins and a draw in their last eight matches in all competitions, but they have suffered three consecutive Premier League defeats.

Probable line-ups:

Arsenal: Ospina - Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Gibbs - Coquelin, Ramsey, Sanchez, Cazorla, Ozil - Giroud

Leicester City: Schwarzer - Simpson, Wasilewski, Morgan, Konchesky - Cambiasso, James, Mahrez, Nugent, Schlupp - Ulloa

My prediction: Arsenal to win 4-1.

Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:

Arsenal win - 2/7 Draw - 5/1 Leicester win - 11/1
