Six points separate these two sides, but there is a lot of difference between the two. Jamie Vardy is the Premier League's top goalscorer and has eight goals in eight games against Arsenal. This will also be Unai Emery's 50th Premier League in charge - none of his previous 49 have ended goalless

Arsenal have only won two of the last nine games, so the pressure is building on their manager.
