Arsenal vs Leicester City Predictions: Arsenal Line-up
Arsenal will lock horns with Leicester City at the King Power Stadium as Unai Emery looks to bounce back to winning ways on Sunday.
Successive defeats to Crystal Palace and Wolves have seen the Gunners suffer a big blow in their hopes of a top four finish. But Emery will expect a response at the weekend after a 3-1 drubbing at the hands of Wolves in mid-week.
Leicester City have done extremely well since Brendan Rodgers’ appointment last month and will look to stun Arsenal at home.
Team News
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is doubtful for Arsenal’s trip to Leicester on Sunday after missing their match with Wolves.
Aaron Ramsey and Denis Suarez are sidelined with injuries and will miss Sunday’s game.
Probable Arsenal XI
Formation: 3-4-1-2
Manager: Unai Emery
Bernd Leno (GK)
Leno was at mistake in a couple of Wolves’ goals on Wednesday. He’ll be raring to make amends at Leicester City.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles (RWB)
Maitland-Niles has improved leaps and bounds under Emery and deserves to keep his place in the team. He’ll start at right wing-back on Sunday.
Sokratis Papastathopoulos (RCB)
Sokratis has arguably been Arsenal’s best defender this season but he needs to step up and lead the backline against the Foxes.
Laurent Koscielny (CB)
Koscielny’s presence at the back will be very important if the Gunners are to bounce back to winning ways at the weekend.
Nacho Monreal (LCB)
The Spaniard struggled at left-back against Wolves but he’ll be a given role in the back three on Sunday.
Sead Kolasinac (LWB)
Kolasinac excels in the left wing-back role, showing his attacking prowess and taking on opposition defenders.
Granit Xhaka (CM)
Xhaka struggled to impose himself against Wolves midfielders on Wednesday. The Swiss will look to put in a better performance at Leicester.
Lucas Torreira (CM)
The Uruguayan’s form has dipped massively in recent weeks but his presence will be hugely important against a speedy Leicester side.
Mesut Ozil (CAM)
Ozil’s creativity and flair will be of massive importance in a must-win game for the Gunners on Sunday.
Alexandre Lacazette (RS)
Lacazette will need to step up and show his top form on Sunday. He will be raring to get on the score-sheet at the King Power Stadium.
