Arsenal vs Leicester City: Raya Fit to Start

For today’s Premier League match, Arsenal vs Leicester City, Mikel Arteta has selected the same 11 players who started against Manchester City last week.

Even though his team played the entire second half with ten men following Leandro Trossard’s dismissal, the manager continued to work with the players who so well performed against the defending champions to achieve a 2-2 draw.

The Belgian winger rejoins the club after serving his one-match suspension against Bolton Wanderers in midweek, and David Raya has overcome a thigh injury to start in goal.

Bukayo Saka can make history by being the first player to record an assist in every one of the first six Premier League games of a season. Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori, and Saka are the only three players who have started all three games this week.

Young players Josh Nichols, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Maldini Kacurri, and Ethan Nwaneri are on the bench after playing in Tuesday’s cup final.

In Premier League action last weekend, Leicester and Everton drew 1-1. Since then, Leicester has made two changes to their lineup.

Former Tottenham player Oliver Skipp replaces the more offensive-minded Bobby DeCordova-Reid and Bilal El Khannouss in midfield, partnering with Facundo Bounanotte.
