Leicester vs Arsenal lineups: Mesut Ozil out, but Pierre-Emerick Aubemayang returns to starting XI

Mesut Ozil misses out for Arsenal today, with the Gunners playmaker ruled out of the Premier League trip to Leicester City with a bruised foot.

There is better news for Unai Emery up front, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang returning after undergoing a sinus procedure which forced him to miss the 3-1 defeat at Wolves

Shkodran Mustafi and Sead Kolasinac have also been recalled from Wednesday's loss, with Arsenal looking to avoid a third straight League defeat in pursuit of a top-four finish.

Hamza Choudhury starts for Leicester, replacing Demarai Gray, following their 2-2 draw at West Ham - and Brendan Rodgers will be hoping for three points as the Foxes push for a top-seven spot.
