Last Friday’s 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park helped Arsenal to banish the demons of that opening day defeat to Brentford in 2021 and they now head back to the Emirates full of confidence.
The same cannot be said for Saturday’s opponents Leicester City, who threw away a two-goal lead against the Bees and were forced to share the points.
Questions have been raised about the Foxes’ lack of recruitment this summer as all the transfer talk concerning them appears to be about who could be leaving the King Power Stadium.
The Gunners had their number last season – beating them twice in the league and once in the Carabao Cup – and have strengthened significantly over the past few months.
Oleksandr Zinchenko and Gabriel Jesus are in line to make their competitive home debuts against Leicester after arriving from Man City for combined fees of nearly £80 million while centre-back William Saliba looked like a new signing against Crystal Palace – as the old cliché goes.
There is certainly plenty of positivity ahead of Arsenal’s first game at the Emirates in 2022/23, and it’s now down to Mikel Arteta’s side to ensure they live up to the hype.

Our prediction: Arsenal v Leicester
All three of the games between these two sides last season finished in a 2-0 Arsenal win and there is no doubt that the hosts are the favourites in this one.
It would not be a huge surprise for the Gunners to finish with a two-goal advantage on Saturday – though scoring goals was not Leicester’s issue last weekend.
Arsenal rode their luck at times against Crystal Palace and the Foxes do have the attacking quality to put them to the sword.
Our prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Leicester (12/1 at bet365)
