Mikel Arteta will have a lot of selection decisions ahead of the Leicester City clash, as there are quite a few problems in the squad following a daunting fixture period. On the positive side, Leandro Trossard is available again following his sending-off against Manchester City last Sunday, which saw him miss the midweek cup clash with Bolton Wanderers.
On the injury front, there are a few considerable doubts heading into the weekend, including main goalkeeper David Raya, who Arteta suggested had a muscular problem. While there is no official confirmation on the Spaniard’s availability, some reports state he will be available to play. If not, Neto could be in line for his debut since signing on loan from Bournemouth.
There are further doubts about the availability of Jurrien Timber and Ben White, with the pair sitting out the midweek cup clash. From Arteta’s recent comments on either of those stars, it does feel like he might not want to risk Ben White, as Timber could potentially return to action at the weekend.
Kai Havertz should return to lead the line for the Gunners, with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli likely to be preferred on either wing. Trossard should also return in what might be a similar role from the Manchester City game, as Thomas Partey and Declan Rice sit at the base of the midfield.
Probable Lineup (4-4-2): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Gabriel, Calafiori; Saka, Partey, Rice, Martinelli; Havertz, Trossard
Leicester City
Steve Cooper has suggested there are no fresh concerns with the squad from the last Premier League clash. However, there are no fresh returnees either, as Jannik Vestergaard, Patson Daka, and goalkeeper Jakub Stolarczyk are still out of contention.
The Leicester City boss will still have to tinker with his team selection ahead of this daunting trip to the Emirates. Wout Faes and Caleb Okoli will form the central defensive pairing, with James Justin and Victor Kristiansen the preferred choices in the full-back roles.
Cooper could continue using Wilfred Ndidi in the advanced midfield role, while former Tottenham midfielders Harry Winks and Oliver Skipp are stationed in the central roles. Summer arrival Jordan Ayew will retain his place on the right wing.
Former Arsenal academy player Stephy Mavididi should be stationed on the left. Veteran Jamie Vardy will look to renew his acquaintances with the Gunners as he leads the line for the Foxes and hope to get the better of their formidable defenders.
Probable Lineup (4-2-3-1): Hermansen; Justin, Faes, Okoli, Kristiansen; Winks, Skipp; Ayew, Ndidi, Mavididi; Vardy
Prediction: Arsenal 4-0 Leicester City
