Leicester's battle for Premier League salvation continues when they welcome title-chasing Arsenal in the early kick-off, but which side will leave with three much-needed points?

Our tipster Brad Walker (@brad_TWalker) runs you through all the key details ahead of the meeting at the King Power.

To say this match has big implications at both ends of the table would be an understatement.

Leicester know every point counts if they are to avoid immediate relegation back to the Championship but a recent run of just one win in 10 games is hardly encouraging. 

The Foxes are also without a home win since the start of December, yet remain just two points away from Wolves in 17th place. Ruud van Nistelrooy's men stand a good chance of finishing the weekend outside the bottom three, providing they can somehow spring up an upset against title-chasing Arsenal. 

The Gunners actually head to the King Power in solid form, having avoided defeat in their last 14 league outings, but an ever-growing injury list continues to hamper them. Forward Kai Havertz is the latest Arsenal casualty to be ruled out for the remainder of the season following the club's warm weather training camp in Dubai this week. 

Mikel Arteta's men also trail leaders Liverpool by seven points following the Merseysiders' 2-2 draw with Everton midweek. With Liverpool hosting a mediocre Wolves side the following day, another slip could see an end to any lingering title ambitions for the visitors.

Arsenal to edge a tight affair against Leicester

Havertz joins Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus on the Arsenal medical table, further weakening their forward options. Still, even with a threadbare frontline, it's hard to see anything other than an away win against this dismal Leicester side. 

The Gunners were formidable in the final 30 minutes of their 5-1 victory over Manchester City last time out and face a Leicester side who have been uninspiring for the majority of Van Nistelrooy's reign. 

Their last league outing saw them slapped 4-0 by a normally gunshy Everton side, which made it eight defeats in 10 for the Foxes. 

Goals haven't exactly been flowing at the King Power, though. In fact, there hasn't been more than three goals scored in a game there since December 8th, when Leicester drew 2-2 with Brighton. 

67% of Arsenal's away games have also seen under 3.5 goals scored and so backing the away side to come out on top in narrow fashion looks an astute pick.
