Leicester vs Arsenal: Premier League – LIVE!
Arsenal have the chance to restore their lead at the top of the Premier League to five points – even if it’s only for a couple of hours, before Man City take on Bournemouth – when they travel to Leicester City today.
It’s been nip and tuck between Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola’s sides in the past few days, since City’s statement 3-1 win at the Emirates 10 days ago. But the Gunners could be boosted by the return of Thomas Partey to their midfield as he returned to training this week following a thigh injury. Leicester have earned just 12 points from 11 home matches this season and could be without key playmaker James Maddison, who is an injury doubt.
