The Premier League tie at The King Power Stadium on Saturday will see hosts Leicester City facing opposition in the form of visitors Arsenal. Let’s check on the predicted line ups and player availability.
Leicester City will be hoping to bounce back here following the 2-1 FA Cup defeat last time out to Manchester United. We think that The Foxes should go for a 4-2-3-1 system this time, beginning the first half with Mads Hermansen, James Justin, Jannik Vestergaard, Wout Faes, Victor Kristiansen, Harry Winks, Boubakary Soumaré, Jordan Ayew, Bilal El Khannouss, Bobby Reid and Jamie Vardy.
Jannik Vestergaard, Jamie Vardy, Ricardo Pereira, Victor Kristiansen, Issahaku Fatawu and Harry Souttar are not available for Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Possible Leicester City team versus Arsenal
Since being beaten in their last game against Newcastle United in EFL Cup competition, Arsenal and their fans will hope to get a better result this time. We believe The Gunners will likely make use of a 4-3-3 system, choosing David Raya, Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães, Riccardo Calafiori, Martin Ødegaard, Thomas Partey, Declan Rice, Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has to choose a team with limited availability. Takehiro Tomiyasu (Knee injury), Ben White (Knee surgery), Gabriel Martinelli (Hamstring injury), Bukayo Saka (Hamstring injury) and Gabriel Jesus (Cruciate ligament tear) are those who can’t be considered.
