Unai Emery reacts after Arsenal's defeat against Wolves

Arsenal travel to Leicester City hoping to get back to winning ways in the Premier League.

The Gunners, after an impressive away win at Napoli in the Europa League, have lost two on the bounce against Crystal Palace and Wolves.

As a result, their top four aspirations are no longer in their own hands – Unai Emery’s side are a point behind Chelsea in fourth.

Leicester are in 10th on 48 points, and Brendan Rodgers is looking for his fifth win as Leicester manager.

The reverse fixture in October saw a man-of the-match performance from Mesut Ozil guide Arsenal to a 3-1 victory at The Emirates.

Leicester City vs Arsenal will be shown live on Sky Sports’ Main Event and Premier League channels from 11:30am on Sunday April 28.

Prediction… Leicester 1-0 Arsenal

Off the back of two defeats to Crystal Palace and Wolves, this fixture is similarly troublesome for an Arsenal side whose away form has seriously damaged their top-four hopes.

Surprising defeats away from home to sides such as Southampton, West Ham and Everton over the course of the season have been in stark contrast to impressive wins at home against the likes of Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United.

Leicester, meanwhile, have been impressive since Brendan Rodgers took charge at the beginning of March. Since that defeat to Watford, they’ve won four in six and are set to finish in the top half of the table.

In the game at The Emirates earlier this season, Leicester dominated the first half before Mesut Ozil inspired an Arsenal comeback. This time round, Leicester are likely to prove more resilient on their home turf. It’ll be tight, as Unai Emery and Arsenal fans alike will demand a response after their wretched display at Wolves, but Leicester will nick it. 1-0.
