The Gunners will travel north with just three first team forwards for Mikel Arteta to pick from: Leandro Trossard, struggling Chelsea loanee Raheem Sterling and 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri. A Leicester side with just three points to their name is a favorable opponent but there are going to be serious questions about how much threat Arsenal can pose until Martinelli and Bukayo Saka return next month.

Leicester City faces Arsenal in a crucial Premier League clash this Saturday morning at King Power Stadium in Leicester, Leicestershire.

The Gunners have the chance to go within four points of the league leaders after Everton denied the Reds victory with a late equaliser in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday. Arsenal were dealt a major blow in midweek, though, as Kai Havertz tore his hamstring to join Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus on the sidelines.
