THE LOWDOWN
ARSENAL
- Arsenal broke into the top four last weekend following their 2-3 win away at Watford, combined with Man Utd’s loss against Man City, their fourth successive league win.
- Takehiro Tomiyasu is still being assessed and could miss out again but Emile Smith-Rowe looks to have recovered from illness in time to be in consideration here.
LEICESTER
- Leicester’s good form continued in midweek as they made it four straight victories in all competitions with a crucial 2-0 first-leg triumph over Rennes in the Europa Conference League and now they turn their attention to league action.
- Wes Fofana has not completed his recovery and is therefore unavailable for selection but Ricardo Pereira stands a slight chance of being passed fit.

UNAVAILABLE:
QUESTIONABLE: Tomiyasu (Injured), Lacazette (Injured)
LEICESTER

THE PREDICTION
Although Leicester are in very good form, fatigue could prove a factor in this one against a very strong Arsenal side on a large pitch at Emirates Stadium. Whilst the Foxes played this past Thursday, Arsenal benefitted from a week off and it would be no surprise if they were to dominate this encounter, particularly as the match goes on and Leicester begin to tire. With a settled starting XI that combines offensive potency with defensive stability, the Gunners with home advantage have to be favoured in this one.
Tip: ARSENAL TO WIN
