Leicester City VS Arsenal Preview

A game that evokes memories of Dennis Bergkamp’s wonderful hat-trick in the thrilling 3-3 draw under the floodlights at Filbert Street back in 1997. How Arsène Wenger must wish that he could call on the Dutchman now. With Olivier Giroud facing a long period out, Wenger’s belief that Arsenal are not light up front will come under scrutiny on an afternoon when Esteban Cambiasso could make his debut for Leicester. The Foxes have not beaten Arsenal in the Premier League since 1994. Stuart James
