Belgium midfielder Youri Tielemans found the net in Leicester's last meeting with the Gunners.

The Gunners came out on top in the previous Premier League meeting between the pair in February 2021. Despite Youri Tielemans early opener, goals from David Luiz, Alexandre Lacazette and Nicolas Pepe secured three points for the visitors.

Leicester had triumphed in the reverse fixture earlier in the 2020/21 campaign, however, when Jamie Vardy’s late goal separated the sides at Emirates Stadium on 25 October, 2021.
