Arsenal take on Leicester in the Premier League this evening.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger

Arsenal host Leicester City this evening hoping to build on their FA Cup semi-final victory over Manchester City.

After a tough couple of months, confidence is suddenly flowing amid Arsenal’s squad, buoyed by a shift in formation to playing three at the back.

The Gunners need a win here to keep their hopes of finishing in the top four places alive, and enter the match sitting down in seventh position.

This is one of the games in hand they have on teams above them in the table and anything less than a victory will be viewed as a disappointment.

Leicester are down in 15th place but have games in hand themselves on teams around them. They could potentially climb to 10th with a victory this evening.

The Foxes have been rejuvenated under Craig Shakespeare, and will have painful memories of a Danny Welbeck winner last time they visited The Emirates.
