Arsenal will be hoping to stretch their winning run to five games when they take on Leicester at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
Mikel Arteta’s side have a busy week ahead with three games in the space of six days including a midweek encounter with Liverpool.
The Gunners will have to beat Leicester to get off on the right foot and retain their place among the top-four.
Last time out Arsenal beat Watford 3-2 and will have to replicate that performance while being more disciplined defensively against a stronger Leicester side.
Arsenal will be boosted by the return of Emile Smith Rowe. Smith Rowe leads the goals chart for Arsenal and missed out on the previous two games due to COVID.
Regarding Takehiro Tomiyasu, Arteta will not rush him back into the starting team after he had two injuries to his calves.
