Match preview

Few teams looked sharper than Arsenal in the opening round of Premier League fixtures last weekend and the Gunners can follow their 2-0 win at Crystal Palace with victory over Leicester at the Emirates Stadium.

Mikel Arteta's men justified the hype around them in pre-season with an electric start to the game at Selhurst Park, taking a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes and holding off pressure from Palace after the break before doubling their lead.

Leicester, meanwhile, threw away a two-goal advantage at home to Brentford on Sunday and were unimpressive on their travels last campaign. Only four of their 14 league victories came on the road.

Another Arsenal win looks likely but to squeeze more value out of this contest, it could pay to back a home win and over 2.5 goals. Only Manchester City's matches (3.29) averaged more goals per game than Leicester's (3.18) in last season's Premier League.

Key stat

Five of Arsenal's last six Premier League wins have featured over 2.5 goals.
