Arsenal vs Leicester prediction

Arsenal are brimming with confidence while Leicester have started a season with the mood darker than it has been for some time.

The Gunners are primed to take advantage, especially against a team who won just once away from home in the league last season.

An early goal and this could be done quickly.

Arsenal to win 2-0.
