I can hardly believe I’m saying this

[{"selector":"#anim-37bf25f1-689e-4f0c-94f3-eb9a9dd8e858","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-413df3a5-c651-4952-b5ed-67a1348b0c6f","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 542.12290%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-375f361d-50c5-47ea-8c8d-3cbac4195f3c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-52.52305226748574%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

but on paper, Arsenal should win this one.

That feels so weird to say about an Arsenal-Leicester match.

It feels like the Foxes have been a bogey team for the Gunners for ages.

[{"selector":"#anim-6acc9bc5-0c9a-472b-9412-84596278526f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cd14fe9d-01e5-4d8b-93c1-3ee45db1e1e7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 374.45595%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e611c435-4232-4f96-bbbe-eab340dd6496 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(53.991364494142644%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

But in reality, that may no longer be the case.

Arsenal have won four of the last five meetings between the clubs
