Arsenal vs. Leicester lineups, expected starting 11, confirmed team news and injuries: Trossard to return after ban? image

Arsenal turn their attentions back towards the Premier League on Saturday after a useful 5-1 workout against Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup.

Following the gruelling nature of their 2-2 draw with Manchester City last weekend, Mikel Arteta's much-changed side were able to cut loose against lower-league opposition in midweek.

Leicester City are also into the Round of 16 in the Carabao Cup after being taken to penalties by Walsall. 

Steve Cooper's team are one of six winless Premier League sides after five matches but have battled to draws against Crystal Palace and Everton in their past two matches.

David Raya sat out the Bolton game after suffering from cramp during the second half against City. That led to 16-year-old Jack Porter becoming Arsenal's youngest-ever starter in midweek.

Leandro Trossard was sent off against City but is available once more after serving a one-match domestic suspension. Raheem Sterling offers another option in attack after opening his Arsenal account from close range versus Bolton.

Ben White played the second 45 minutes at the Etihad Stadium despite being short of match fitness but could return from the start with Jurrien Timber a doubt.

Arsenal predicted 11 (4-3-3, right to left): Raya (GK) — White, Gabriel, Saliba, Calafiori — Havertz, Partey, Rice — Saka, Trossard, Martinelli

Injured: Tierney, Odegaard, Merino, Zinchenko, Tomiyasu, Timber
Suspended: 

Patson Daka and Jakub Stolarczyk remain sidelined due to ankle injuries but Cooper has an otherwise clean bill of health in his squad.

Jamie Vardy is set to lead the Leicester attack and boasts an incredible record of 11 goals in 16 appearances against Arsenal. He has never scored more at the expense of another club in his career.

Leicester predicted 11 (4-2-3-1, right to left): — Hermansen (GK) — Justin, Faes, Okoli, Kristiansen — Skipp, Winks — Ayew, Ndidi, Mavididi — Vardy
