'Found winning formula'- Arsenal fans make point after what Mikel Arteta did for Leicester clash

Arsenal travel to Leicester City in search of their fifth Premier League win of the season.

After enduring a torrid start to the campaign that saw them lose their opening three league matches, the Gunners have shored things up in defence, conceding just four goals in the last two months - a run that leaves them unbeaten in their last eight outings.

Mikel Arteta's side produced an excellent display last week, defeating Aston Villa 3-1 at the Emirates thanks to goals from Thomas Partey, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Emile Smith Rowe.

Now, the Spanish coach has named an unchanged lineup from the Villa clash, with English centre-half Ben White passing a late fitness check despite suffering from a sickness bug earlier in the week.

Arsenal supporters took to social media to praise Arteta for keeping the same starting XI. Here is how a select few on Twitter reacted.

@its_billsss: "Never agreed with a lineup more in my life."

@drclftbl: "We all agreed on this lineup. COYG!!!!"

@MalonyTanaka: "Our Best line-up this season. This is the 4th best line-up in the league just behind city; liver (sic) and Chelsea."

@AFCWatch3: "That is literally the best line up I could ever have hoped for."

@_IKENNA_: "Arteta is learning not to change a winning team. My manager is growing!"

@Afc_lokongaard: "Great lineup now let’s go for the win

@leafricangooner: "YES! Arteta finally has found the winning formula. This is our strongest team. Let's smash them and put us back in contention for Top 6!"

@DDeeean: "That’s a decent line up tbf."

Arsenal XI vs Leicester: Aaron Ramsdale, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Ben White, Gabriel Magalhaes, Nuno Tavares, Thomas Partey, Albert Sambi Lokonga, Emile Smith Rowe, Bukayo Saka, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette.
