Arsenal predicted line-up for Leicester clash as Unai Emery makes changes

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is set to return to Arsenal's starting line-up for their clash with Leicester .

The Gunners' striker sat out the midweek defeat at Wolves with a sinus problem and has since undergone treatment.

Arsenal confirmed he was a doubt for the clash at the King Power but Aubameyang trained on Saturday and looks set to start.

Aubameyang is likely to start alongside Alexandre Lacazette as Arsenal look to bounce back from two straight defeats to Crystal Palace and Wolves.

Speaking on Friday, boss Unai Emery said: "He trained today and if he can train tomorrow I think we can think he’s ready for Sunday.”

Emery is expected to make changes to his starting line-up to get a response from his players.

Sead Kolasinac and Matteo Guendouzi were both introduced from the bench in midweek and will be hoping to start.

The Gunners face a crunch week in their fight to qualify for the Champions League.

They face Valencia in the semi-finals of the Europa League on Thursday and the competition could be their best hope if they lose at Leicester.

Arsenal training: 5 things we learned ahead of Leicester clash

But Emery believes they can still finish in the top four, with Tottenham , Chelsea and Manchester United all in disappointing form.

“We can build on this confidence each minute, each hour, each day, each week - and above all we’re training and we’re looking for a big performance for the three points," he said.

"Individually for Sunday the first target is to think in our capacity and be consistent defensively and offensively. We need to adapt to them, but I think both are very important. We need to prepare ourselves and also adapt for them.”

Predicted line-ups

Leicester: Schmeichel, Pereira, Evans, Maguire, Chilwell, Tielemans, Ndidi, Albrighton, Madison, Gray, Vardy

Arsenal: Leno, Maitland-Niles, Sokratis, Koscielny, Monreal, Kolasinac, Guendouzi, Xhaka, Ozil, Aubameyang, Lacazette
