Arsenal will welcome Leicester City at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon as they look to secure a good result at home in the Premier League. The Gunners managed to secure a dominant 5-1 win over Bolton Wanderers recently, so they would go into this game full of confidence this weekend.
Mikel Arteta will set his men up in a 4-3-3 formation and is expected to revert to his strongest XI for this game. Hence, Gabriel and William Saliba will once again play from the start of this contest.
4-3-3 Arsenal Predicted Lineup To Face Leicester City
Defence
David Raya is a slight concern ahead of this game but should get the nod to operate in goal for the Gunners this Saturday afternoon. Gabriel will resume his centre-back partnership with William Saliba as they look to keep a clean sheet this weekend.
Ben White will fill in as the right-back while Jurrien Timber hopes to catch the eye on the other side as the left-back. Both of them will get the license to get forward and join in on the attack at every chance they get.
Jakub Kiwior will offer cover for the defensive positions on the bench.
Midfield
Declan Rice, Thomas Partey and Kai Havertz will make up Arteta’s midfield as they focus on establishing their superiority over the opposition at the centre of the park. All three of them need to move the ball well so that they can orchestrate enough chances to win this clash.
Jorginho will be named on the bench as he waits for his chance to make an impact in the second half if required. However, Martin Odegaard remains sidelined for Arsenal due to injury.
Attack
Gabriel Martinelli will try to prove his worth on the left flank while Bukayo Saka hopes to impress on the right wing. Leandro Trossard will lead the charge for the North London club up top. He has to find a way to be a constant menace in the final third.
Raheem Sterling and Ethan Nwaneri will be available for selection on the bench and might come on to influence the game in the final quarter if the Gunners are in need of a goal by then.
