Arsenal are set to host defending Champions Leicester City on Wednesday, as the Premier League season nears its end. The Gunners are currently placed 6th in the table, with Champions League qualification hopes still being alive.
Liverpool’s loss against Crystal Palace during the weekend would have given some massive hope for Arsene Wenger and after a disastrous run since the turn of the year, Arsenal seem to have found their long-lost confidence back, as they beat Manchester City in the FA Cup semifinal on Sunday.
The win will serve as a massive morale booster for the North Londoners, as they look to transfer it all to the Premier League as well.
Leicester City, on the other hand, find themselves out of relegation danger after some new-found freshness since the sacking of Claudio Ranieri. They progressed to the Champions League quarterfinals before eventually losing to Atletico Madrid. The Foxes have won 5 of their last 6 games in the league and that sees them at 15th place in the table, 6 points ahead of 18th placed Swansea, who have played two games more than Leicester.
There will be no shortage of confidence for the defending Champions and they will surely try and go for the kill.
There is concern about star man Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who picked up a knock in their FA Cup semifinal win over Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City. He faces a late fitness test. Lucas Perez, Shkodran Mustafi and David Ospina are certain to miss the game, alongside Santi Cazorla, who has been ruled out for the season.
Captain Wes Morgan is out with a hamstring injury while Nampalys Mendy’s season is over following an ankle operation. Robert Huth is back after a Champions League ban, but Islam Slimani remains sidelined with a groin injury.
Arsenal – Cech; Gabriel, Koscielny, Holding; Bellerin, Ramsey, Xhaka, Monreal; Ozil, Sanchez; Welbeck.
Leicester City – Schmeichel; Simpson, Huth, Benalouane, Fuchs; Mahrez, Ndidi, Drinkwater, Albrighton; Okazaki, Vardy.
