Team News
Arsenal
Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney was fit enough to come off the bench at Selhurst Park on Friday after recovering from another knee injury, with Fabio Vieira, Emile Smith Rowe and Takehiro Tomiyasu - who featured for the Under-21s - all absent.

However, all three players have returned to senior training this week and could therefore apply for places in the squad this weekend, but Arteta is sure to only consider the trio for minutes from the substitutes' bench.

Ben White performed admirably against Wilfried Zaha from his right-back role and could therefore earn another opportunity on that side, as Saliba has practically made himself undroppable already.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Xhaka, Partey; Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli; Jesus

Leicester City
As for Leicester, Rodgers did not pick up any fresh injury woes at the weekend and has since allowed Hamza Choudhury to leave for Watford on loan, but the club have been dealt a devastating blow with Ricardo Pereira.

The injury-plagued right-back has undergone an operation on a ruptured Achilles and is set to spend six months recovering, and he is joined in the treatment room by Harvey Barnes and Ryan Bertrand, who are rehabilitating from knee injuries.

Tielemans, Fofana and Maddison should all be involved yet again amid speculation surrounding their futures, with the former being strongly linked with Arsenal, and Jamie Vardy will aim to build on the 11 goals he has already scored in this fixture.
Leicester City possible starting lineup:
Ward; Fofana, Amartey, Evans; Castagne, Ndidi, Tielemans, Justin; Maddison, Dewsbury-Hall; Vardy
Prediction: Arsenal 2-0 Leicester City
