Leicester v Arsenal: match preview

Leicester v Arsenal
Leicester v Arsenal: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: x

Arsenal seem to have found form recently but the trip to the King Power will be a stringent test. Leicester have got their groove back in their past two matches to such an extent that Brendan Rodgers could afford to leave Patson Daka, Harvey Barnes and Ademola Lookman on the bench against Brentford despite their scoring exploits in recent Europa League and Carabao Cup ties. Though the teams are level on points going into the game, Leicester have the tools to mount another challenge for the top four and could show Mikel Arteta just how far Arsenal still have to go.
