And he confirms this also this season, when he has already scored seven accurate hits and is chasing the first Mohamed Salah in the table of shooters. In addition, Vardy is extremely successful against Arsenal, as he scored eight goals in the last eight duels!
But Gunners also have their gunner, whom they can rely on regularly. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, after a weak start, when he rode with a catastrophic start of the whole team, gets into the classic form and pulls his team for success. With four goals in eight matches, he is the top scorer.
In addition to offensive abilities, the popular Auba has also significantly improved in other aspects of the game, especially in aggressive presink and defense. “Have you noticed how he runs and attacks opponents? He realized his role in the team and changed his approach. I really like this version of Aubamyeang.” This is how the manager of Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, praises Gabon’s cutter in an interview for the club website.
In addition to Captain Aubameyang, Arsenal’s reinforcements – Takehiro Tomiyasu defender and former Sheffield United goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale – are doing so well so far. The clever Japanese back filled the place very quickly after the stagnant Bellerín, who left to visit Real Betis and attracted the general public with his performances. Gunners fans even voted him the best player of September.
Tomiyasu started at almost the same time as Ramsdale, who knocked the original number one Bernd Len out of the goal. He rode with the Gunners’ unsuccessful start to the season, when the “Gunners” did not get a point after three rounds and were hopelessly last. At present, however, Arsenal is rising and, after the victory over Aston Villa, is peeking over the rungs securing European cups. “I was thrilled with our performance against Villans, we played with great energy and enthusiasm and from the first minute we went for the victory. But that’s in the past, now we have to focus on Leicester.” Arteta said at a press conference.
At the moment, his opponent Brendan Rodgers definitely has reason to be satisfied. From the beginning of the league, “Lišky” was troubled by a fluctuating form, but after a monstrous victory over Manchester United, the Foxes scored only the winnings in competitive matches. In the last round of the Premier League, they lost the dangerous Brentford and have the same points as Saturday’s opponent from the Emirates Stadium. At the same time, they will want to make up for a 1: 3 loss to the Gunners from their mutual mutual measurement of forces last year. In general, however, the balance between rivals is quite balanced. In the last six matches, the Foxes have won three times, the Gunners twice and the duel ended once in a draw. But Arsenal is pulling a string of six competitive matches in a row without losing and would certainly like to put on another successful bead.
However, the Scottish defender Kieran Tierney, who was represented by Tavares against Villains, will probably not help the guests. But the possible absence of Ben White could already cause less panic in Gunners’ defense. Leicester, on the other hand, will miss Albrighton, Fofana and key midfielder Ndidi. The start of Ayoza Perez is also uncertain. “Ayoze is a little sick, today we gave him time off and we’ll see how the body reacts,” Foxes manager Brendan Rodgers said Thursday. On the contrary, Patson Daka, who is on the list of the most dangerous Premier League players after coming from Salzburg, should be ready.
Schmeichel – Söyüncü, Evans, Amartey – Bertrand, Tielemans, Soumaré, Castagne – Maddison – Vardy, Daka
Ramsdale – Tavares, Gabriel, White, Tomiyasu – Lokonga, Party – Rowe, Lacazette, Saka – Aubameyang
