Arsenal Host Leicester in Top-of-table Clash
Both Arsenal and Leicester could be unchanged as the title challengers do battle at the Emirates on Super Sunday. Arsenal sit five points behind the Foxes, level on points with north London rivals Tottenham, who also face a tough trip to Manchester City later in the afternoon. Arsene Wenger’s side bounced back having won no league games in four beating Bournemouth 2- 0 at the Vitality Stadium last Sunday, while Leicester will be looking to continue their momentum from the impressive 3-1 win at Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
The Gunners won the first fixture 5-2 in an entertaining clash in September, a match which started a five-game winning run.
Leicester, however, have won seven games on the road this season, as many as Arsenal have won at the Emirates.
The Gunners have no fresh injury concerns, allowing Wenger to pick from an unchanged squad. Santi Cazorla (knee), Tomas Rosicky (thigh) and Jack Wilshere (leg) are still missing, while Danny Welbeck (knee) is back in full training but today should come too soon for a return to action.
Leicester midfielder Daniel Amartey must wait for his debut and will not feature against Arsenal. The 21-yearold joined from FC Copenhagen in January and is yet to make his bow, but boss Claudio Ranieri expects to have him up to speed to face Norwich next week.
Jeff Schlupp remains sidelined with a hamstring injury which has kept the winger out since the start of December while Matty James is close to a recovery from a long-term knee injury but the Foxes are expected to be unchanged following their win at Manchester City.
