A look at how Arsenal could line up against Leicester City in the Premier League.

Arsenal look to continue from where they left off against Aston Villa when they travel to the King Power Stadium on Saturday.

Two stoppage time goals secured all three points for Mikel Arteta’s side at Villa Park as they went back to the top of the Premier League table.

Thomas Partey will be assessed ahead of the match against Leicester although he won’t be rushed back into the squad, with Jorginho proving himself to be an excellent stand-in for the Ghana midfielder.

Emile Smith Rowe and Reiss Nelson are both fully fit and available for selection but Gabriel Jesus is still a couple of weeks from returning to the squad.

Here’s how we expect Arsenal to line up against Leicester...
