Leicester City and Arsenal will go head-to-head in the Premier League at the King Power Stadium on Saturday afternoon as both teams aim to get back to winning ways.
Ruud van Nistelrooy's side have lost each of their last two games, with a controversial defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup last time out while Mikel Arteta's team crashed out of the Carabao Cup at the semi-final stage following a 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United.
Both teams are coming into this game with some injury issues and the managers will have some decisions to make, so this is how GIVEMESPORT expect the sides to line up.
