Top squads Leicester City (3-0-3, 12 points) and Arsenal (3-2-1, 10 points) will try to bounce back from their separate week 6 debacles as they face each other in a 2015-2016 Premier League match at the King Power Stadium on September 27, Sunday.

The Foxes settled for a 2-2 draw with winless team Stoke City in their game last Saturday at the Britannia Stadium.

Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy led Leicester's comeback in the second half after being down 0-2 in the first to salvage a point in the overall standings and maintain Claudio Ranieri's undefeated status, as reported by The Guardian.

Meanwhile, Arsene Wenger's men succumbed to a classic Chelsea performance, 0-2, at Stamford Bridge last Saturday to pick up their second loss of the season, via Heavy.

After the Gunners lost their season opening game versus West Ham, they went on a four-game unbeaten run to move up in the leaderboard early in the season.

With the loss against the defending champs, they are now alone at the fifth spot with 10 points in the overall standings.

Wenger is keen on bouncing back, though, and could give Ranieri's squad their first taste of defeat after six weeks of competitions.

The predicted result is a 2-1 win for Arsenal. Winger Theo Walcott will continue to fill-in for French striker Olivier Giroud up front for the Gunners as the latter is not playing up to par lately.

Leicester City starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Schmeichel; Morgan, Schlupp, de Laet, Huth; Kanté, Inler, Mahrez, Drinkwater; Okazaki, Vardy

Arsenal starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Cech; Monreal, Koscielny, Bellerin, Paulista; Ramsey, Coquelin; Cazorla, Sanchez, Özil; Walcott
