Arsenal vs Leicester City Stats: Pre-Match Facts
- Arsenal have won their last five Premier League games against Leicester, their joint-longest winning run against the Foxes in their league history (also five between 1908 and 1914 and between 1930 and 1932).
- Leicester have won just one of their last 26 away league games against Arsenal (D4 L21), picking up a 1-0 victory in October 2020.
- Arsenal have won 16 of their last 17 Premier League games against promoted sides, with the exception being a 1-0 loss at Nottingham Forest in May 2023. At home, the Gunners are unbeaten in 39 such games (W34 D5) since a 1-0 loss to Newcastle in November 2010.
- Leicester remain winless in their five Premier League games so far this season, drawing three and losing two. Only in their relegation campaign of 2022-23 have they gone six without a win from the start of campaign in the competition.
- Leicester have both scored and conceded in all five of their Premier League games so far this season – only in their title winning campaign of 2015-16 have they had a longer such run from the start of a campaign in the competition (first 9).
- Arsenal have received six cards (4 yellow, 2 second yellow) for either time wasting or not retreating in the Premier League this season, two more than any other club. They received three such cards against Manchester City last time out.
- Arsenal have faced 40 shots more than they’ve had themselves in the Premier League this season (F50 A90), with no side having a bigger such difference. The main reason behind this is in the two games in which they’ve had a player sent off – they had three shots to Brighton’s 19 after Declan Rice was sent off, and had one shot to Manchester City’s 28 after Leandro Trossard had seen red last time out.
- Against no side has Gabriel Jesus been involved in more Premier League goals than he has against Leicester (9 – 7 goals, 2 assists). He scored twice and assisted twice against the Foxes on his home debut for Arsenal in August 2022.
- Arsenal’s Raheem Sterling has scored a brace in his last two Premier League games against Leicester – one with Man City (December 2021) and one with Chelsea (August 2022, his first goals for the club). Only three players have scored multiple goals against an opponent in a Premier League match with three different clubs – Robbie Fowler vs Bolton (Liverpool, Leeds, Man City), Darren Bent vs Bolton (Charlton, Tottenham, Sunderland) and Andrew Cole vs West Ham (Newcastle, Man Utd, Man City).
- Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka has more assists than any other player in the Premier League so far this season (5) and could become the first ever player to assist a goal in each of his side’s first six games of a campaign in the competition.
