Arsenal vs Leicester City Timeline & H2H Stats

It probably tells you something about the historical nature of the battle between Arsenal and Leicester City that the first time the two clubs went up against one another in the January of 1895, one of them was officially known as Leicester Fosse and the other was called Woolwich Arsenal. In other words, this definitely isn’t a modern day rivalry. In spite of the fact that the Gunners have been the more successful side over the years, it almost felt like they couldn’t buy a win during those earliest encounters. The first match between them ended 3-1 to the Foxes, with the second being a 3-3 draw followed by a 1-1 draw then a 1-0 loss.

If you’d told the London club that they would score three goals in the fifth meeting between the pair then they would no doubt have been delighted. Unfortunately for them, however, it ended up as a 6-3 loss. In fact, between that first encounter in 1895 and the Second Division game that the pair played out in the January of 1902, the sides met 16 times in the league. During that time, Arsenal won just four times, coming away with a draw on three occasions and losing the rest. In some ways, any rivalry that the two clubs share has been a bit like that; one side has dominated for a time and then the other has taken the reigns instead.

In some ways, it is odd to talk about a rivalry between Arsenal and Leicester City in a season when the two clubs didn’t actually finish very close to one another. Supporters of the Gunners won’t mind, however, given the fact that it is a chance for them to put the boot in on Tottenham Hotspur. For it was Spurs that were keeping up with the Foxes during the campaign, with many people calling it a two-horse race between the pair of them. Arsenal, for their part, were one of the few teams to do the double over Leicester City, who were on their way to winning the Premier League in one of the most impressive and shocking ways ever.

Fired on by the incredible finishing of Jamie Vardy and with maverick Italian manager Claudio Ranieri at the helm, the Foxes went from being 5,000/1 outsiders to lifting the most coveted of trophies in England. This was in spite of the fact that they lost 5-2 to Arsenal at their home ground and were defeated 2-1 in London. When the season drew to a close, however, they were just two of three defeats suffered by the East Midlands club. They ended the campaign being crowned champions with 81 points, which put them 11 points clear of Tottenham. Ultimately, Spurs finished third and it was their North London rivals Arsenal who ended up in second.
