Arsenal v Leicester: match preview
Sixth meets fifth with Arsenal and Leicester both aiming to bounce back from narrow defeats. The home side need to be more creative and may find Leicester’s expansive approach more conducive to giving the relatively shot-shy Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang more chances. How heavily Arsenal are detained defensively may depend on whether Jamie Vardy passes a fitness test for Leicester, who have thrashed both Manchester City and West Brom on the road so far but are yet to find consistency.
