As Arsenal prepare to face Leicester City on Saturday, we have tried our best to call their predicted lineup.
Mikel Arteta’s side have a golden opportunity of extending their lead at the top of the Premier League table to 5 points, after Manchester City’s latest slip-up in their 1-1 draw to Nottingham Forest.
Ahead of the contest, we expect the Arsenal boss to make 2 changes.
Arsenal predicted lineup vs Leicester City
In between the sticks, it should come as no surprise that Aaron Ramsdale, who was recently criticised by Paul Merson for his error against Brentford starts in our Arsenal predicted lineup against Leicester.
At right-back, Ben White is expected to keep his place in the side.
The same goes for William Saliba, about whom the jury is still out, according to club legend, Tony Adams, considering how suspect he has been at the back since the World Cup still seems set to start for Arsenal in our predicted lineup against Leicester.
At left-back, Oleksandr Zinchenko looks likely to start once again, especially off the back of his crucial equaliser in his side’s 4-2 win against Aston Villa.
In defensive midfield, Jorginho, who was key in the Gunners’ winner after his rasping strike hit Emiliano Martinez and bundled into the net also seems almost guaranteed to start proceedings.
In front of him, Martin Odegaard, who impressed Alan Shearer via Match of the Day on BBC One is a guaranteed selection at the King Power Stadium.
The surprise could come in the form of Granit Xhaka being benched for the ‘unbelievable’ Fabio Vieira as more of a creative threat than the Swiss midfielder, who is clearly out of form.
In the front 3, only one change seems likely, with Gabriel Martinelli returning to the starting XI for Leandro Trossard, reuniting with Bukayo Saka and Eddie Nketiah.
Arsenal predicted lineup vs Leicester City: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Jorginho, Odegaard, Vieira, Saka, Nketiah, Martinelli
