Team News
Leicester City
Leicester's treatment room has slowly emptied over the past few weeks, but key playmaker Maddison has emerged as a doubt due to his persistent knee problem, and Rodgers is also working without the trio of James Justin, Jonny Evans and Ryan Bertrand for the visit of the league leaders.

Arsenal-linked Youri Tielemans was only considered for a place on the bench at Old Trafford but should return to face his admirers here, likely as a straight swap for Maddison if the England international misses out.

Gunners fans have grown sick of the sight of Jamie Vardy, whose 11 goals against the Gunners is the most against a single opponent for the striker, but he is firmly down the pecking order these days and will likely lose out to Kelechi Iheanacho again.
Leicester City possible starting lineup:
Ward; Castagne, Souttar, Faes, Kristiansen; Mendy, Tielemans; Tete, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes; Iheanacho

Arsenal
As for the visitors, Gabriel Jesus and Mohamed Elneny are still recovering from their respective knee surgeries, and it remains to be seen if Thomas Partey can battle back from his latest thigh problem in time for Saturday's game.

Partey is supposedly hopeful of shaking off his injury in time for the weekend, but Arsenal will not rush him back while Jorginho continues to deputise expertly, and Arteta also allayed any fears of an injury to Saka after he went down with an ankle problem early in the second period at Villa Park.

Saka was once again the subject of rough treatment against Villa, but the 21-year-old is now on the verge of becoming the sixth-youngest player ever to record 50 Premier League goal involvements, having netted 26 times and provided 23 assists in the top flight so far.
Arsenal possible starting lineup:
Ramsdale; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko; Odegaard, Jorginho, Xhaka; Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli
Prediction: Leicester City 1-3 Arsenal
