Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 152
Arsenal wins: 74
Draws: 45
Leicester wins: 33
From 152 previous meetings between Arsenal and Leicester City, the Gunners unsurprisingly trump their less esteemed counterparts in the wins column with 74 victories, while the Foxes have only prevailed on 33 occasions.
The Gunners' most recent triumph - and seventh in a row - in this head-to-head came in February 2025, where makeshift striker Mikel Merino clinched a dramatic 2-0 win with a late brace off the bench at the King Power Stadium.
Another two-goal Arsenal success came in September 2024, where Leicester appeared to be on course for a hard-fought draw, only for Arsenal to strike twice in added-on time to seal a 4-2 success.
During Arsenal's trip to the King Power Stadium in February 2023, Gabriel Martinelli notched the only goal of the game and also injured himself in the process, and Mikel Arteta's men had coincidentally also conquered the Foxes 4-2 at home in the earliest stages of the 2022-23 campaign.
However, Arsenal's most recent defeat to the 2015-16 Premier League champions came at the Emirates Stadium in October 2020, when none other than Jamie Vardy bagged the only goal of the contest, one of 11 he had scored versus the Gunners to date.
The 38-year-old Leicester talisman has scored more against Arsenal than any other team in his career - also bagging 11 against Watford down the years - and he also struck at the Emirates during an unforgettable affair in the 2015-16 season.
Vardy's penalty would not prove telling that day, as Theo Walcott levelled the contest 20 minutes from time before Danny Welbeck met a Mesut Ozil free kick with a delightfully deft header, sending the Emirates into pandemonium before Claudio Ranieri's men still went on to claim a sensational title.
Vardy's 11 efforts in this fixture makes him the highest documented scorer in matches between Arsenal and Leicester, but Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp enjoyed facing the Foxes too, netting six and five goals against them respectively.
