Arsenal managed to recover from Europa League elimination in an impressive way, beating Burnley 5-0 in Arsene Wenger's farewell match at Emirates Stadium. Thus the Gunners ensure the top six positions, but they unfortunately will not play in the Champions League after losing to Atletico Madrid in the middle of last week.

Nevertheless, the French manager is still eager to end his reign on the North London side with victory in the remaining games against Leicester City and Huddersfield Town in the last two rounds. There are many who announced potential success for the Gunners when facing Foxes at King Power Stadium.
First of all, they came from a 5-0 win over Claret. The win sees Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette teaming up in bagging 3 of the team's 5 goals.

In addition, Leicester's performance has been greatly decreased over the past few weeks. Claude Puel's men have won just one point from their last five Premier League matches and they have not scored a goal in their last three league games. Given the next opponents are Southampton, Crystal Palace, and West Ham United, the home team can be more relaxed face this one.

Arsenal may have suliot got consistency over the last few years, but they have no problems in the game against Foxes, winning 5 of the last 6 games.
It included a 4-3 win at the start of the season when the two teams met in August last year at the Emirates Stadium. What is clear is very interesting to note that 8 of the last 10 meetings are always goals.
And Arsenal will definitely be a favorite to win the away game. Leicester City conceded at least 2 times in 4 of the last 5 league games, which means Lacazette and Aubameyang should be able to take advantage of the situation.
