Leicester come into this game on the back of a dramatic penalty shootout victory over Brighton in the EFL Cup.
The fourth-round tie ended 2-2 after 90 minutes, before the Foxes converted four straight spot kicks to advance to the quarter-finals.
That victory means that Leicester have now won each of their previous four games across all competitions.
After thrashing Manchester United (4-2) and Spartak Moscow (4-3), Brendan Rodgers’ boys beat Brentford (2-1) before overcoming Brighton.
On top of that, the Foxes have lost just one of their previous eight outings in all competitions. They will be confident of avoiding defeat against Arsenal.
On the flip side, Arsenal head into Saturday’s clash on the back of a 2-0 victory over Leeds in the EFL Cup, which saw them book their spot in the quarter-finals.
The Gunners are currently enjoying an eight-game unbeaten streak in all competitions, having picked up six wins and two draws since their last loss.
It is worth noting that Arsenal have conceded just four goals across their past eight outings, keeping five clean sheets in the process.
Mikel Arteta’s men can also take confidence from the fact that they have lost only three of their last 16 away games in all competitions.
Head-to-head: Arsenal have won just two of their previous six meetings with Arsenal, suffering three defeats during that period.
Eight of the last nine meetings between Leicester and Arsenal have produced over 1.5 goals, meaning they are likely to dish up a high-scoring clash on Saturday.
Team news: Leicester will be without Jamie Vardy, Wilfred Ndidi, Marc Albrighton, James Justin and Wesley Fofana on Saturday.
Arsenal currently have Granit Xhaka sidelined through injury, while Ben White is also a doubt after coming off against Leeds in midweek.
Leicester and Arsenal have both discovered some form of late, so this is destined to be an intriguing clash between two revived sides.
With that in mind, Forebet predicts that Leicester and Arsenal will produce a high-scoring draw on Saturday, with both teams scoring over 1.5 goals.
