Arsenal vs Leicester City team news and line-ups confirmed

Arsenal handed a full Premier League debut to Stephan Lichtsteiner as the experienced defender came in for the visit of Leicester.

The 34-year-old was drifted in at left-back, with both Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac missing out with minor hamstring complaints.
