| For the hosts the main objective for this season is simply to stay in the league. Southampton, Ipswich and Leicester had this goal in mind. The Saints are almost certain to be the first to be relegated, the other two are at least in touch with 17th place. Leicester would have to make up two points on Wolverhampton, the next best team would then be nine points behind. This is not surprising, after all the Foxes have only won four times and already lost 15 times. Eight of the last nine matches have been lost so it's practically impossible to score any points. The only win in this period was a 2-1 win against Tottenham, where Leicester even managed to come from behind. The Foxes are completely out of form, they are only losing heavily and are hardly scoring any goals anymore. Without a doubt that Arsenal are the clear favorites on Saturday. The Gunners are out of the EFL Cup and now the focus is even more on the Premier League. The Londoners have won their last six direct games vs this opponent five of them by 2 goals margin. |
