Raheem Sterling is on the cusp of setting another remarkable record as an Arsenal player when they face Leicester City today.
Sterling has been in fine form since joining Arsenal on loan from Chelsea and is already making an impact at the Emirates with his performances. He is now also on the verge of getting his name in the record books at Arsenal.
According to Talk Sport, if Sterling scores twice in the match against Leicester today, he will become the fourth player in Premier League history to score two goals in a single game against the same opponent for three different clubs. He has previously achieved this feat against Leicester while playing for Manchester City and Chelsea.
This feat would place him alongside Premier League legends Robbie Fowler, Darren Bent, and Andy Cole, who have also accomplished this rare achievement.
Sterling’s versatility and attacking prowess were evident in his strong performance and goal against Bolton in the League Cup. As Arsenal prepares for the Leicester City clash, Sterling will be eager to continue his record-breaking run and help his team secure another important win.
Sterling’s record against Leicester City could be a good sign Arsenal, and he might come off the bench to be a hero for the Gunners. However, every player in the team, and not just one individual, will be relied on to get the job done.
