There are a few fitness concerns among the Arsenal ranks ahead of this clash. It is not clear whether the likes of Emile Smith Rowe, Fabio Vieira and Takehiro Tomiyasu are fit enough to play on Saturday. Even if they are ready to play, it is unclear whether they will start or come off the bench. On a positive front, Kieran Tierney coming as a substitute against Crystal Palace last weekend will be good news for the Gunners.
Meanwhile, Leicester City have come under immense fire from their own fans for the lack of transfer activity. Not only they have struggled to sign players, but there are a lot of interests surrounding the likes of Wesley Fofana, James Maddison and Youri Tielemans. Hence, it will be interesting to see if they will let any of their star players leave in this window. On thing is clear, they have to make do without the services of Hamza Choudhury, who left for Watford on loan. Besides, Ricardo Pereira is set to be out for a long period of time and he is joined on the sidelines by Harvey Barnes and Ryan Bertrand.
Arsenal possible line-up: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Xhaka, Partey, Odegaard, Saka, Smith Rowe, Jesus
Leicester City possible line-up: Ward, Fofana, Amartey, Evans, Castagne, Ndidi, Tielemans, Justin, Maddison, Dewsbury-Hall, Vardy
