Leicester City welcome Arsenal to the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

The Foxes are back in Premier League action after exiting in the FA Cup against Manchester United last week.

Ruud van Nistelrooy’s men lost to a controversial stoppage-time goal, as Harry Maguire scored from an offside position.

It was a much better performance from Leicester, following an embarrassing 4-0 defeat to Everton, so they’re certainly heading into the Arsenal game with a bit more belief.

Ahead of the clash, Paul Merson has predicted the score.

Paul Merson predicts Arsenal to beat Leicester City this weekend

Writing in his Sportskeeda column, Paul Merson has tipped Arsenal to beat Leicester City at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

“This is a good game for Arsenal even though they’ve been rocked by the injury to Kai Havertz,” he explained.

“I know they are struggling when it comes to the centre-forward department, but I expect them to win here. Leicester are terrible defensively and could be put to the sword in this one!

“I don’t see Leicester winning. But I will say this one thing, it’s a different game for them now compared to how it was maybe six weeks ago. Ruud van Nistelrooy should tell his players to have a go at Arsenal here.”

Merson predicted a 3-1 away win for Arsenal.
