Eight big changes from Arteta | Expected Arsenal line-up (4-3-3) vs Leicester City with Raya & Trossard decisions made | OneFootball

Arsenal take on Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League today.

The Gunners returned to winning ways with a resounding 5-1 triumph over Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup third round on Wednesday.

They will be aiming for another victory against the Foxes this afternoon. Manager Mikel Arteta is expected to make plenty of changes from midweek.

The regular starters are expected to return to the starting XI, but goalkeeper David Raya remains doubtful with a muscle injury picked up last weekend.

Formation: 4-3-3

Predicted Line-up:

Raya has yet to fully recover from the injury sustained during his goalkeeping heroics at Manchester City. Teenager Jack Porter made a surprise debut against Bolton as Neto was cup-tied.

Neto may make his Gunners debut this afternoon, as Raya may not be risked unless he is completely fit. He could return for the Champions League game against Paris Saint-Germain.

It should be the same back four from the City game. Three changes are expected with Jurrien Timber, William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes replacing Josh Nichols, Jakub Kiwior and Miles Lewis-Skelly.

Timber and Riccardo Calafiori should feature in the full-back positions with Saliba and Magalhaes continuing their brilliant partnership in the heart of the Arsenal defence.

Ben White has been carrying a minor knee issue and could start on the bench once more.

Thomas Partey had a nervy start at the Etihad Stadium last weekend, but he was much better in the second half. The Ghanaian should start in the number six role against the Foxes.

Declan Rice and Kai Havertz are expected to complete the midfield. Based on the Bolton game, Jorginho and Ethan Nwaneri are likely to drop to the substitutes’ bench for today’s encounter.

Bukayo Saka has been on an assist-making spree in the top flight, and he is guaranteed to start on the right wing.

Gabriel Martinelli should reclaim his position on the left wing following his assist for Calafiori’s wonder goal at City.

Gabriel Jesus struggled with his decision-making on Wednesday night. Leandro Trossard will lead the line after his one-game suspension.

The Belgian star could interchange places with Havertz. Jesus and Sterling will drop to the bench from midweek.
