Game Preview
Arsenal might be finding their form down the stretch and are just three points away from sixth place and eight away from a 2020-21 UEFA Champions League berth. That might be too much to overcome with just five games left in the schedule, but, at the same time, that should be enough to give them motivation ahead of this matchup against Leicester City. The Gunners also enter this game on a three-game winning streak following Saturday's 2-0 victory at Wolves. Meanwhile, Leicester City ended their skid last weekend with a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace, stopping their three-game winless streak (D2, L1). The Foxes remain heavy favorites to earn a spot in the Champions League next season, but the fifth-placed team, Manchester United, sits just three points behind them. It's clear this is not the time to get complacent for Brendan Rodgers's men.

Top Picks
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Arsenal: The Gabon international currently ranks as the league's second-best scorer with 19 goals, just two behind Leicester's Jamie Vardy. Aubameyang netted two in Arsenal's previous home match against Norwich City but only has two goals in five league matches since the restart.
Jamie Vardy, Leicester: Even though Leicester start this game as minor underdogs, Vardy is as good a bet as any to produce a strong fantasy performance. The former England international recently surpassed the 100-goal mark at the Premier League level and sits as the top scorer in the English Premier League this season with 21 goals while adding four assists.
