Leicester face difficult game at Arsenal following developments

Leicester City’s chase for Champions League qualification just got harder, as the Foxes have injuries to contend with.

When Crystal Palace come to King Power Stadium, Leicester City fans always expect a tough game. Roy Hodgson’s side are usually combative, committed and an underrated playing team. Not to mention having some incredibly dangerous players.

Well, that was not the case on Saturday as the Eagles were poor in every department: aerially, defensively, up front, with regard to invention as well as conviction. England’s former boss will have been very disappointed by his outfit’s display.

However, the Foxes took full advantage of their opponents’ many shortcomings. Jamie Vardy, a City legend and iconic football personality, completed his entry into elite status by becoming a member of the Premier League ‘100 club’. His 100th and 101st top-flight goals helping Leicester to finish off Palace.

Leicester City’s issues before Arsenal clash

Leicester City’s upcoming fixture is away in North London versus European qualifying rivals Arsenal. The fact that the East Midlanders haven’t won away at either of Arsenal’s ground since 1973, obviously doesn’t bode well them.

Brendan Rodgers’ team have turned around their form; yet it is only a solitary victory since the return. And that came against distinctly average opposition. While the Gunners are finally enjoying somewhat of a revival under Mikel Arteta, in which stability is seemingly materializing.

James Maddison and Ben Chilwell being major doubts for the contest makes Leicester’s trip even more difficult and awkward than it already was. Both are unlikely to feature, according to LCFC.com.
