Youri Tielemans will also be in focus, with the Leicester midfielder linked with a possible move to the Gunners. Where will the Arsenal vs Leicester City Premier League match be played? High on confidence from the opening day win at Crystal Palace, Arsenal will look to continue their good start to the Premier League 2022-23 season when they take on Leicester City in their second match at The Emirates on Saturday. Arsenal started their campaign with a hard fought 0-2 win at Selhurst Park. Gabriel Martinelli scored the opening goal and then the Gunners held their nerve through an extended period of pressure before Marc Guehi turned a Bukayo Saka cross into his own net.

Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus scored twice to open his account for the club as Mikel Arteta's side beat Leicester City 4-2 at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. Arsenal exuded quality in the first half and took the lead 23 minutes in.

Arsenal exuded quality in the first half and took the lead 23 minutes in. Arsenal momentarily lost their comfortable advantage early in the second half as William Saliba headed into his own net, but two minutes later Xhaka pounced on a mistake between Wesley Fofana and goalkeeper Ward to restore the two-goal cushion. Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus scored twice to open his account for the club as Mikel Arteta's side beat Leicester City 4-2 at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

We beat Leicester 4-2 at the Emirates after goals from Martinelli, Xhaka and a first half brace from Jesus led us to victory.

Gabriel Jesus became the first player to score more than once on his home Premier League debut for us. I have a lot of freedom from the coach, from my teammates. The way they reacted was something I’ve never seen in football; the amount of support and connection they are showing with us, and especially with William, lifted the team straight away. However, once again we showed excellent courage to go back down the other end and restore the two-goal cushion. That piece of champagne football came just before the first scheduled water break which briefly slowed down proceedings, but 10 minutes before half-time Jesus doubled his tally with a much more routine finish than his first. Perhaps due to the conditions chances were initially at a premium, but we gradually began to dictate proceedings.

Granit Xhaka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Jesus contributed to the goals on a day when Mikel Arteta will take the good along with the defensive wobbles, especially ...

His opener was a thing of beauty and if this is a sign that Jesus can now perform at least to the level of his expected goals, it's a scary sight. From pretty finishes to gritty pressures in the box and everything in between, his play can transform an Arsenal side that needs to get back into Champions League. This is the killer instinct that Arsenal has lacked and why they tumbled out of Champions League contention last season, but with Jesus atop the line, if he can maintain this form, they should be able to mount a sustained challenge for top four. Pressuring Ward, Jesus forced the Foxes into a mistake before giving Granit Xhaka one of the easiest goals that he'll ever score. But against a Leicester team that tried to attack Arsenal, Jesus was able to take the game to them. Times are changing a the top of the Arsenal attack.
