Leicester vs Arsenal Prediction and Starting Lineups: Two betting tips in the lunchtime kick-off
Arsenal have the opportunity to close the gap on Premier League leaders Liverpool to four points - for 24 hours at least - when they face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium in just under an hour's time - live on TNT Sports 1 at 12:30pm.
Mikel Arteta's side were handed a slight lifeline in their hopes of winning this year's title after Everton snatched a last minute equaliser against Liverpool.
Meanwhile, hosts Leicester City are deep in a battle to avoid relegation and desperate to conjure up points.
Leicester City vs Arsenal Predictions
Going into this game the Gunners are battling a significant injury crisis in their attacking lineup. Key forwards Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Jesus are all sidelined due to injuries. Havertz has been ruled out for the remainder of the season with a hamstring injury requiring surgery, while Martinelli is expected to be out for over a month due to a hamstring issue.
Due to these injuries, expect Belgian forward Leandro Trossard to play a key role in Arsenal's attack tomorrow. Trossard played a crucial part in Arsenal's last encounter against Leicester when his shot was deflected into the net by Wilfried Ndidi to give Arsenal a stoppage time lead.
With Trossard expected to be one of Arsenal's main men on Saturday, backing him to score against the struggling Foxes could be a great bet especially at odds of 29/20.

For my next tip I am backing Arsenal to win this with a -1 handicap despite their injury issues.
The Gunners are currently seven points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool. Liverpool's recent 2-2 draw against Everton, where they conceded a stoppage-time equaliser, has provided Arsenal with a glimmer of hope in the title race. A convincing win against Leicester would not only close the gap but also boost the team's morale.
Leicester City, on the other hand, are enduring a challenging season near the relegation zone. Despite their victory over Tottenham, their recent form has been underwhelming, and they have struggled against top-tier opposition. Arsenal's previous encounter with the Foxes earlier this season resulted in a 4-2 victory, and this was a game in which Arsenal were far from at their best.
Considering these factors, backing Arsenal with a -1 handicap seems to be a solid betting choice. The Gunners' motivation to capitalise on Liverpool's slip-up could see them beat Leicester by a large distance.
