Can Arsenal Triumph Without Havertz? Gunners Set to Conquer Leicester Despite Injury Woes!

Sutton's Take on Arsenal's Striker Crisis and Leicester Clash

Amidst concerns and critics aplenty, the Gunners' faithful are currently caught in a whirlwind of emotions around their forward lineup. Notably, Kai Havertz, who has been a subject of hefty scrutiny since his arrival at Arsenal for his erratic performances, strangely finds himself missed dearly due to a hamstring injury. It seems the absence makes the heart grow fonder, or in football terms, turns a struggling striker into a critical asset.

Adding to the woes, Gabriel Jesus' season-ending injury has left a notable void upfront. Observers now suggest that the squad's inability to fill this gap effectively could provide a convenient scapegoat should Arsenal fail to clinch the title. Mikel Arteta’s January pursuit of Ollie Watkins signals a missed opportunity, and should the league slip through Arsenal's fingers, fingers will be pointed - but at whom? The management or the board?

Yet, as daunting as the scenario sounds, I'm brimming with optimism. Even with Havertz side-lined and both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli nursing injuries, Arsenal's depth should triumph. Leandro Trossard is likely to spearhead the offence, with the versatile Raheem Sterling capable of augmenting the attack.

On the other side of the pitch, Leicester, having recently faced a drubbing by Everton and bowed out of the FA Cup, are not in their prime form. This upcoming match certainly won't mirror the tight affair we witnessed last September.

Despite the challenges and potential excuses floating around, expect Arsenal to emerge victorious in what should be a straightforward contest against Leicester. My prediction stands firm: Leicester will succumb to the Gunners with a clean 0-2 defeat.

Upcoming Matches and Arsenal’s Title Chase

Looking ahead, every match counts as Arsenal continues its fervent chase for the Premiership crown. The resilience and historical prowess of our beloved club reminds us of the glory days and past triumphs, particularly over our North London rivals. This squad has the potential to etch its name into the annals alongside the likes of the 'Invincibles'.
