Arsenal’s grip on the Premier League’s top spot will be under threat when they visit Leicester on Saturday.

The Gunners will be wary of the Foxes, who have started to fire back after a slow start to the season.

That goes exactly against the record of the hosts; Leicester have lost more Premier League games from winning positions than any other side this season (five).

The Gunners have been good on the road under Mikel Arteta. They have won nine of 12 away games with just two losses.

One statistical point that Leicester will like to end on Saturday is that they are winless in 18 Premier League games against teams starting the day top of the table since a 1-0 win at Manchester United in January 1998.

A loss to United in their last outing ended a good run of form which included back to back wins that lifted the Foxes to 14th.

Arsenal may have won on their last outing but before that it was two losses and a draw which has let City back into the title race.
