Fit Youri Tielemans is the Leicester City player who could cause the most problems for Arsenal when the two clubs meet tomorrow, according to Adrian Clarke via the Premier League official website.
The Foxes have some of the best players in the league and Jamie Vardy loves to score against Arsenal.
However, Tielemans has peaked in this campaign and his stats should worry Arsenal.
Discussing the midfielder’s form on the Premier League website, Clarke writes: “Excellent in possession, strong defensively and able to shine in the final third, the Leicester City star will need to be closely watched by Arsenal at the King. Power Stadium this Saturday.
“If Thomas Partey and Albert Sambi Lokonga lose their positional discipline, Tielemans is playing well enough to make the difference.
“He created the most chances, made the most passes in the opposing half of the field and won the most duels, while only top scorer Jamie Vardy had more shots.
“Moreover, the 24-year-old also leads Leicester’s standings for blocks and tackles won.
“Tielemans is Leicester’s conductor when in possession of opposition territory.
“From there he consistently delivers a quality end product, as shown by his three goals and two assists already in 2021/22. ”
Thomas Partey and Albert Sambi Lokonga have worked hard and done well together in Arsenal midfielder so far.
However, at Tielemans they will face an opponent linked with a transfer to several big clubs.
That said, while Tielemans will be a serious threat, we can’t just focus on the Belgian and ignore the other impressive players on the Foxes squad.
The likes of Patson Daka and Vardy will be significant threats and Arsenal will need a great team performance to earn all the points in the game.
