Referee: Craig Pawson
VAR: Paul Tierney

Pawson has refereed Arsenal a total of 15 games in the league. Arsenal have won 8 of those.

Stats: (Opta)

-Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 27 home meetings with Leicester in all competitions (W20 D7), since a 0-2 loss in September 1973.

Stats: Opta

-Arsenal are unbeaten in their last 11 Premier League home games (W9 D2), after losing their final three at the Emirates in 2019. However, one of those failures to win in this run was against Leicester in July.

Stats: (Opta)

-Leicester have lost their last two Premier League games, last losing three in a row in February 2019 under Claude Puel. However, the Foxes have won their last two league games on the road by an aggregate score of 8-2.

Predicted lineup: Arsenal

Leno, Bellerin, Luiz, Gabriel, Tierney, Partey, Ceballos, Saka, Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang

Ceballos is a doubt for the game due to injury but is expected to return fit for the game. Granit Xhaka was rested v Rapid, also a likely option in midfield

Predicted lineup: Leicester

Schmeichel; Castagne, Fofana, Evans, Justin; Mendy, Barnes, Tielemans, Maddison, Perez; Vardy

Vardy has been left sidelined for the last 2 games and is a doubt for the game due to a calf injury, but Brendan Rodgers hopes to have him fit in time.

Brendan Rodgers on the possibility of Jamie Vardy recovering from a calf problem in time for Sunday:

"We& #39;ll see how he is in the next few days and hopefully he can be available for the weekend," he said after the win over Zorya.

Dangerman: Jamie Vardy

10 goals in 10 appearances against Arsenal.

Arsenal will feel more confident with in form Gabriel in defence, but Vardy is still one to look after.

Leicester has been a tough fixture in recent years and i personally expect a tough game. Points are needed!

My prediction: 1-0 Arsenal

Press conference: Arteta

on Leicester& #39;s start to the season...
Well, they& #39;re a really difficult team. I think Brendan and his team have done a great job. They dramatically changed the philosophy and the way of playing, since they arrived and I think they had an incredible...>

...season last season. This season, ups and downs, like almost every team in the PL. They can adapt and play different ways and sometimes they are really dominant, sometimes they can defend with a low block but overall they& #39;re a really, really good team.

on the draw after lockdown

I think we played really, really well and we should& #39;ve been three or four-nil up in the first half. In the second half, when we had total control of the game as well, we got Eddie sent off and we played with 10 men and we ended up conceding really late

5th vs 6th place.

Both teams currently on 9 points after 5 games.

A win could see us move up to 3rd place!
