Arsenal vs Leicester
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Emirates Stadium
Date: Monday, 22 October
Kick-off: 8pm BST

Arsenal welcome Leicester to the Emirates looking to extend their winning run to 10 straight games.

The Gunners have moved to within two points of Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool at the top of the table after their recent run as they continue to thrive under Unai Emery.

Leicester pushed the north Londoners all the way on their last visit with only a late Olivier Giroud goal sealing an Arsenal win last season. The Foxes got their revenge last May with a 3-1 victory at the King Power Stadium.

Arsenal handed a full Premier League debut to Stephan Lichtsteiner as the experienced defender came in for the visit of Leicester.

The 34-year-old was drifted in at left-back, with both Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac missing out with minor hamstring complaints.

Lichtsteiner was one of two changes as Mesut Ozil also returned to captain the Gunners.

Jonny Evans came in for Leicester to replace suspended captain Wes Morgan in the only alteration from the side beaten 2-1 by Everton before the international break.
