The showcase match of the weekend will come Sunday, as Liverpool hosts Manchester City, but Saturday, there is a very interesting contest to end the slate, with Arsenal heading to Leicester City.
The Foxes have found ways to win and sit in third place, but they are over performing according to their xG stats. Now, xG is something of a divider among the game's fans, with Twitter users @danichese, @solskCR, and @DrCassOle some of the more vocal objectors; but there are others that will take it for gospel truth. Right now, Leicester City is outscoring its expected goals by double. That sounds like something that is unsustainable.
Arsenal is under the cosh right now, but this could be a spot that turns around the Gunners' season. Or maybe, Leicester City is very good.
