Two teams coming off opposite results in the Europa League will now lock horns for the Premier League on Sunday, when Leicester will play host to Arsenal. Leicester were eliminated to Slavia Prague, while Arsenal overcame Benfica, but both teams will have to shift their focus to the Premier League now.

Leicester (15-6-4) did not won any of their two matches against Slavia Prague in the Europa League and were eliminated. But they’ve done a great job in the EPL lately, going undefeated in their last four (3-0-1) and are still sitting at the 3rd spot of the Premier League with 49 points. Leicester have a 6-5-1 record at home, scoring 19 and conceding 16 goals. They have only lost two of their last 8 domestic home matches (5-2-1), overcoming Liverpool and Chelsea and holding Manchester United to a 2-2 draw in that span.

Arsenal (10-11-4) are coming off a 2-3 win in Greece against Benfica for the Europa League and moved to the next round. Last week they fell by a slim 1-0 at home against Manchester City in the Premier League and they have won just one of their last 5 EPL matches (1-3-1). The Gunners are sitting at the 11th spot of the league table with 34 points, 9 behind the top-five spots. They have not done a very good job on the road either (5-6-1), but have won three of their last 5 EPL matches on the road (3-2-0).

Leicester beat Arsenal by 1-0 in London in the reverse fixture and have only lost one of their last five against Arsenal (3-1-1). They also have a 3-1-1 record in their last 5 as hosts against Arsenal. Leicester will now focus on remaining inside the top-four spots of the EPL and grab a Champions League ticket for next season. Taking Leicester here.
