Arsenal picture special: Aubameyang, Ozil, Bellerin and Pepe train ahead of Leicester City trip

The Arsenal squad are on their way to the midlands for this evening's big game against Leicester City.

It's been a struggle for Unai Emery's side of late as they're without a Premier League win since before the last international break and have problems when it comes to holding on to leads.

Things don't get much easier as they face Brendan Rodgers' in-form side.

Defeat at the King Power Stadium would open up a nine-point gap between the two teams - in the Foxes' favour - and pressure will only increase on the Spanish tactician.

Therefore, it's no surprise that the importance of the game is not lost on Emery.

"Must-win? Yes. We need to win and it's very important for us tomorrow," he said during Friday's pre-match press conference. "But our mentality is every time to play first, using our best structure and organisation to be strong and also our individual players to use their quality to win.

"But in our mind, for each match it is only to win.

"Yes, they (Leicester) are very well. They started the season with big confidence and they are getting good results and now they have six points more than us.

"Tomorrow is a very big challenge and a very good opportunity for both teams and I am looking for how we can respond."

In terms of team news, two players who won't feature this afternoon are Dani Ceballos and Granit Xhaka because of injury and the head coach's decision respectively.

"Good evening, yes Ceballos has a small injury and he is going to be out for tomorrow," Emery confirmed.

"The rest of the squad, I think they are ready for tomorrow, we are going to train this afternoon and I am speaking with the doctor and I think every is ready."

Elsewhere, the Gunners squad including the likes of forgotten defender Konstantinos Mavropanos, Mesut Ozil, Nicolas Pepe, Alexandre Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Hector Bellerin were put through their paces at the club's training base at London Colney on Friday afternoon.
