This Tuesday marks the 34th day of the Premier and tonight offers a great duel at the Emirates Stadium among which are currently the top scorers of the championship: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has 19 goals for Arsenal, and Jamie Vardy, 21 for Leicester and he has already achieved 100 throughout his career in the top flight.
Aubameyang will try to increase his score and lead Mikel Arteta's Arsenal, seventh and on a streak, again. The 'gunners', fighting to go to Europe, have 3 consecutive Premier wins (4 in all competitions) and will try to make it the fourth against Leicester, who regained confidence on Saturday by defeating Crystal Palace 3-0 .
Those of Brendan Rodgers, third and in a fight to return to the Champions League for the first time since 2016-17, were going through a rut (2 draws and a defeat in the championship after the restart) but they finally managed to win. Ahead of the game against Arsenal, Rodgers has doubts from James Maddison and Ben Chillwell.
Brendan Rodgers praised his colleague Mikel Arteta, who arrived at Arsenal in December following Unai Emery's dismissal: “He has done very well.” In the 2015-16 season, when Leicester managed Claudio Ranieri the feat of winning the Premier, the runner-up was Arsenal led by Arsène Wenger.
