Confirmed line-ups: Leicester vs Arsenal – Key man ruled out but Lacazette starts

Arsenal are back in Premier League action today as we take on Leicester City at the King Power Stadium this lunchtime.

The boss has rung the changes with several key players recalled after being rested for the Carabao Cup win over Leeds United on Tuesday night. Goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale is among those recalled as he replaces Bernd Leno between the sticks while Takehiro Tomiyasu comes in for Cedric Soares at right-back.

Ben White has been passed fit to start after recovering from a sickness bug and he lines-up alongside Gabriel in the middle of defence. However, Kieran Tierney is ruled out so Nuno Tavares starts at left-back this afternoon.

Thomas Partey is back in the Arsenal line-up and he’s joined by Albert Sambi Lokonga in the middle of the park so Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Mohamed Elneny drop out.

Bukayo Saka is recalled to start in the Arsenal attack and he’s joined by Emile Smith Rowe – who keeps his place after starring during the win over Leeds. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang comes in up front after being rested last time out so Eddie Nketiah makes way despite scoring against Leeds.

Alexandre Lacazette is rewarded for his fine recent form with another start so Martin Odegaard has to settle for a place on the bench. Nicolas Pepe and Gabriel Martinelli are also named among the Arsenal substitutes.

These are the teams for the game:

Arsenal

Ramsdale, Tomiyasu, White, Gabriel, Tavares, Lokonga, Partey, Saka, Smith Rowe, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

Subs: Leno, Odegaard, Maitland-Niles, Holding, Soares, Pepe, Elneny, Kolasinac, Martinelli.

Leicester

Subs: Ward, Bertrand, Vestergaard, Ndidi, Choudhury, Dewsbury-Hall, Lookman, Barnes, Daka.
