Arsenal, led by their manager Mikel Arteta, have had a strong start to the Premier League season and are yet to be defeated. However, former Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman has expressed his concern for the team's upcoming match against Leicester, fearing that the players may be dealing with fatigue after their intense game against Manchester City last weekend.
Despite facing a controversial red card, Arsenal showed determination and were on track to secure a monumental victory over the reigning champions. However, a last-minute equalizer from John Stones denied them the win, leaving the game at a 2-2 draw and City's fans ecstatic. This result has placed Arsenal in fourth position in the Premier League standings, just two points behind City, as they prepare to face newly promoted Leicester at the Emirates.
The Gunners are still without their captain Martin Odegaard, and there are doubts surrounding the fitness of David Raya, Jurrien Timber, and Ben White, who all missed the team's recent Carabao Cup match against Bolton. In his podcast, Seaman expressed his concern about the team's energy levels and potential injuries, especially after playing three consecutive away games and facing an expected easy win against Leicester.
However, Arsenal showed their strength in their recent match against Bolton, securing a 5-1 victory. Seaman believes that the only saving grace for the team is that some key players were given a rest, with Arteta entrusting young talents such as Ethan Nwaneri, Myles Lewis-Skelly, and Joshua Nichols in the game.
Reflecting on last season's performances, Seaman acknowledged that City was not the main problem for Arsenal, but rather other teams. Despite his concerns, he still predicts a 3-0 win for Arsenal against Leicester.
Leicester's coach Steve Cooper understands the challenge his team faces against Arsenal, describing them as an incredible team in great form for several years. However, he also sees this as an opportunity for his team to embrace and prove themselves against a top team.
Cooper emphasized the importance of a well-rounded game, from their tactics with and without the ball to their mental approach and belief. With the game quickly approaching, both teams are preparing for a highly anticipated match. For more updates and analysis on Arsenal, sign up for our newsletter.
