Arsenal took on Leicester City in the top of the table clash on Valentines day and it turned out to be a cracking game full of action both halves.
Arsenal started stronger but it was Leicester City who took the lead when Monreal brought
down Jamier Vardy inside the boxing and penalty was awarded which was converted by Vardy to put Leicester 1-0 up scoring his 19th of the season. Danny Simpson was sent off for two
bookable offences in second half. match highlights are available on this page.

Arsenal vs Leicester City Preview
Leicester City can really get a stronghold on the title race if they can produce another miracle performance against Arsenal. A win for Leicester City will put them 8 points ahead of Arsenal and if Manchester city and Tottenham game ends in a
draw that will end Leicester with 7 clear overall with just 12 games to play for.
But the way this season results has gone so far I expect Arsenal to win at home and keep the title
race well within reach of any of the top 4 or even 5 teams.
Leicester City has not beaten
Arsenal at home since 1973 while they have not beaten Arsenal in last 18 games between the two in all competitions which shows the rask Claudio Ranieri men are facing this weekend.
Arsenal has a full squad to choose from apart from their long-term absentees like Wilshere and Welbeck. I expect Giroud to lead the lineup alongside Ox-Chamberlain and Alexis Sanchez
with Ozil, Ramsey and Flamini playing in central midfield roles. Leicester will continue with Okazaki and Vardy upfront while their star playmaker Mahrez to start on right side of the midfield.
This is how I expect both teams to
lineup.
